Robby Bell has officially started his season off with a win streak. The Precision Concepts Kawasaki rider rode to another victory in the 2015 Rocky Mountain MC World Off-Road Championship Series, this time at Buffalo Bill’s in Primm, Nevada. Racers faced a fast and rough desert course, part of which they shared with the Pro ATV class before splitting off after the scoring chute – a factor which Gary Sutherlin found challenging. The defending WORCS champion did his best to put pressure on Bell for the lead, but after overcoming arm pump, he tangled with a quad and falling. Sutherlin still held on to take second ahead of Justin Seeds, who rounded out the Pro podium.
Seeds had a daring battle with Honda-mounted Justin Jones for third place late in the race. Seeds mounted a charge in the last laps of the two-hour race, advancing from sixth to fourth before challenging Jones for third place. Seeds admitted he was “riding out of control” as he closed in on Jones, but was fortunate enough to pull of a dramatic pass to move his Kawasaki into the final podium position.
Jones held on for fourth ahead of Red Bull KTM’s Ivan Ramirez who rounded out the top-five. Ramirez’ fifth-place finish marked a career-best WORCS performance.
