Former WORCS Champion Taylor Robert made his first appearance of the 2014 World Off-Road Championship series at Mine Race Park in Cedar City, Utah, July 13, and came away with the win.

Robert, on the FMF KTM, pretty much led from start to finish to claim the win over defending champ Robby Bell (Kawasaki) and KTM rider Justin Seeds.

Points leader Gary Sutherlin battled mechanical problems and finished seventh. As a result, Bell has closed to within eight points of Sutherlin in the championship with three rounds left on the schedule.

In the Pro 2 division, KTM rider Travis Coy took the win over fellow KTM rider David Broderick, while Yamaha rider Michael Del Fante topped the Pro 2 Lites division.
