Roberts Wins Muley Run Hare & Hound
I
t's been a frustrating year for
Zane Roberts, with the Liqui
Moly Beta rider seemingly star-
ing constantly at the back of
one Oliveira brother or the other,
depending on which race he's in.
But for the second weekend in a
row, Roberts on his Bridgestone/
FMF/Moose Racing 480 RR
found himself leading the way to
the checkered flag, this time with
Dante Oliveira in tow at the 15th
annual Muley Run hosted by the
Trail Blazers Motorcycle Club in
Panaca, Nevada, on September
19. It broke the defending series
champ's perfect run of wins at
the sixth of seven rounds in the
AMA Hare & Hound National
Championship, presented by
FMF. Pro 250 winner Ryder
Thomaselli finished third overall.
Oliveira, however, remains
in control of the series points
going into the finale at the end
of October, leading Roberts by
a comfortable 20 points, 175-
155. Thomaselli's second overall
podium result sees him third in
overall points at 109.
The Pro Women title is now
locked up, with Norman Racing
Husqvarna's Ava Silvestri win-
ning for the sixth consecutive
round to defend her number-one
plate over former champ Rachel
WIND
IN THE
P48
After a season of
chasing defending series
champ Dante Oliveira,
former champion Zane
Roberts took advantage
of a rare Oliveira mistake
and led nearly the entire
way for his first win of
the season.
