Hard-fought sixth for Red Bull KTM's Maximus Vohland in Denver supercross

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

DENVER, Colo. – Red Bull KTM Factory #racing was solely represented by #maximusvohland in round 16 of the 2023 #amasupercrosschampionship, where the 250SX West contender rode to sixth position at the conclusion of the penultimate Main #event of the season.With 450SX teammates Cooper Webb, Aaron Plessinger, and Marvin Musquin currently sidelined through injury, all attention was on 20-year-old Vohland in #denver and he started strongly by qualifying a convincing fourth place this afternoon.

Just two weeks after claiming a career-best result of P4 at East Rutherford, Vohland continued that impressive form by finishing third position in Heat 1 on his KTM 250 SX-F, completing the opening lap in fifth and climbing into P3 for a direct transfer into the Main #event.

A holeshot in the Main #event put Vohland in the lead over the course of the opening laps, before he settled into P3. A fall with just under 10 minutes to run, however, bumped him down the order, and he remounted to take the checkered flag in a hard-fought sixth place. He's still P5 in the western regional standings with a single round remaining.

Maximus Vohland: "I got off to a great start in the Main and went into the early lead, but I made some mistakes on lap three and then went down. After that, I just pushed as hard as I could to get back to sixth position, where I rounded out the race. Not what we wanted this weekend and I was really expecting a lot more of myself – I am really looking forward to making amends in the final race of Supercross season next weekend. I really want to finish out on the Salt Lake podium."

The 2023 #amasupercrosschampionship finals will be hosted in Salt Lake City next Saturday night, where the second 250SX East/West Showdown will see Vohland once again joined by eastern regional teammate Tom Vialle to complete the season.

Next Race: May 13 – Salt Lake City, Utah
