FMF KTM FACTORY RACING’S BEN KELLEY TAKES
POINTS LEAD FOLLOWING CAMP COKER GNCC PODIUM

Round 5 – Grand National Cross Country Series

Former champion Kelley completed the first lap inside the top five, before making his way into third on the second lap. It was there that the Connecticut native would remain for the duration, resulting in a hard fought P3 result in challenging conditions. The result sees Kelley take over the top spot of the 2023 standings, three points clear of second place.

Ben Kelley: "Today was tough – I felt the conditions here more than I did in Florida, which is crazy. By lap three I was feeling it, then by four it just consistently got tougher and tougher with the heat and the fact that the track was a lot faster, meaning you could be more aggressive, which takes it out of you. The boys out front were running a good pace, I had a bit of a tire issue, which the mechanics jumped on and got sorted. I charged the rest of the race and rode it in for third!"
