Successful night for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team at Anaheim II SX
WEBB AND HARTRANFT SECURE PODIUM FINISHES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSES
ANAHEIM, Calif. – It was a successful night in #anaheim for the KTM brand as both of its factory teams came away with podium finishes at Round 3 of the 2020 #amasupercrosschampionship in Southern California. Starting with the premier 450SX class, the Red Bull KTM Factory #racing Team returned to the podium once again at Angel Stadium with a solid third-place performance by Reigning Champion Cooper Webb. In the 250SX West division, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Brandon Hartranft raced his way to a second-straight podium with another impressive third-place ride.
Coming off a tough finish in St. Louis last weekend due to an ongoing sickness, Webb was able to bounce back in #anaheim beginning with a solid sixth-place qualifying position. He went on to secure a good start in 450SX Heat 1, where he powered his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to second-place early on and he rode a great race to secure a runner-up finish in the heat. In the Main #event, Webb grabbed a top-five start and worked his way into second early on, dicing back-and-forth for a top position through the first half of the race. He fought his way back up to third at the halfway point and from there, he made a big charge to bring himself to within three seconds of the leader as they made their way through the finish. With a hard-fought effort, Webb was able to secure third overall for the night.
Cooper Webb: “It feels good to be up here on the podium, it’s been a tough start to the season. I went to the doctor on Monday after A1 and found out I had the flu and strep [throat] so it was a tough week leading up to St. Louis. It was a good learning experience for me and this week was much better, I was able to ride and train a little bit more. I’m pumped to be up here and we were pretty dang close [to the winner] so I can’t complain.”
It was another solid day for the Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull KTM Factory #racing Team as Brandon Hartranft made his second-career podium appearance on Saturday. Hartranft powered his KTM 250 SX-F to a top-five start in the Main #event, where he battled for the fifth-place position early on. Halfway through the 18-lap race he made his move into fifth and from there he positioned himself just outside the podium battle. On the final lap, Hartranft capitalized on a mistake by another rider and from there he maintained his composure to ride his way to a third-place finish.
Brandon Hartranft: “It feels just as good [to get on the podium] as last weekend, I am so happy. I’m starting to believe in myself a lot more. I definitely want to win – that’s the main goal – but I’m just going to take it step by step and make the weeks count.”
