KTM PHOTO REPORT: ROUND 7 OF THE CMRC CANADIAN MOTOCROSS NATIONALS RiverGlade MX Park. Moncton, New Brunswick Photos by James Lissimore
HOMETOWN HERO? Sort of…. He may reside on the West Coast, but after becoming the first rider to make two double- jumps into one, BIG double-jump at RiverGlade (now known as the “Klatt-a-pult”), Dusty Klatt remains a fan favourite for Maritimers. The KTM Red Bull Royal Distributing Fox Racing rider gives us a sneak peek at the 2013 Fox gear. We like! It never takes Klatt long to find a good groove at The Glade. He would do so again this year, finishing 2-3 for third overall in MX1. The results didn’t come easy, as Klatt had to work his way through the pack in both motos.

Klatt’s mechanic, Adam Turner, is another (legit) hometown hero for Moncton fans. Turner and his father, Anthony, are born and raised in Nova Scotia and both have a long history of fixing dirt bikes on the East Coast. This year, Adam is in charge of keeping Klatt’s Factory KTM in tip-top shape. So far, so good, as Klatt has yet to suffer any DNFs (and the same goes for his teammates, Facciotti and Medaglia).
YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU FEEL GOOD, YOU RIDE GOOD: Jeremy Medaglia continues to be one of the most exciting riders to watch. Whether it’s practice, qualifying or motos, Medaglia leaves it all on the track. The KTM Red Bull Royal Distributing Fox Racing rider put down two solid motos in Moncton, finishing 2-3 for third overall. He remains second in the series with two rounds to go.

Medaglia’s Factory KTM 250 SX-F waits patiently for the next moto…. The Kemptville, Ontario native is riding the wheels off of his KTM every weekend, but he’s not happy with second and thirds, he wants to win! Look for him to make that happen next weekend at Sand Del Lee (his local national).
Duroy KTM’s Kaven Benoit leads Jeremy Medaglia in the first MX2 moto. The French Canadian had another flawless weekend, leading almost every lap of both motos for his second win of the year.

Benoit takes the final MX2 moto win and overall! In 6 motos, Benoit has been almost perfect, winning 4 out of 6 motos (and finishing second in the other two).
GO TEAM GO! For the third race in a row, Kaven Benoit (centre) and Jeremy Medaglia (right) have put two Orange bikes onto the MX2 podium.
