MX Round 5 |
Valcourt, Québec (6/9/2011)
- Motoworks / Can-Am pro ATV racer Jeremie Warnia
won round five of the World Off-Road Championship
Series (WORCS) held at Clays Peak MX in Payette,
Idaho. The victory extended Warnia’s points
lead to 10 in the highly competitive WORCS ATV Pro
class. Reigning WORCS Pro ATV Champion and Motoworks
/ Can-Am teammate Josh Frederick also reached the
podium aboard his Can-Am DS 450, finishing third.
"Jeremie Warnia continued his impressive
racing in 2011, leading from the first lap to
the checkered flag,” said Jimmie O'Dell,
Race Manager, Can-Am. "Having both he and
Josh [Frederick] reach the podium despite the
dusty and rough track conditions is a huge accomplishment.
The fact that they’ve both finished on the
WORCS podium at every round and won four of the
first five rounds speaks volumes for the capabilities
of the DS 450 sport quad, these two riders and
the entire Motoworks / Can-Am team.”
A determined Warnia grabbed the early lead aboard
his Can-Am DS 450 sport ATV and never looked back.
The team Motoworks / Can-Am racer then posted
the fastest lap of the day on the second lap to
stay ahead of his competitors and the dust, which
plagued other riders. Warnia won the race by more
than 30 seconds and has now won three rounds in
2011.
“I got out front and kept my head down
and tried to stay focused,” said Warnia.
“The dust was bad, so I was happy to be
out front. I am excited to take another win and
I am hoping for a championship this year.”

Frederick took third on the podium aboard

Frederick also tallied his fifth-consecutive
Pro class podium in Idaho. He came off the line
in third place and moved into second place on
the second lap. However, a bobble in the motocross
section of the course dropped him to fourth. Frederick
charged hard to pass back into third place, but
ran out of time to challenge for another spot.
“I worked into second early, but then I
went into the motocross section and made a mistake
and got hung up,” explained Frederick. “I
was stuck for about 30 seconds and two riders
got by me. I got back by one, but I couldn’t
catch second place in time.”
