| Bloss & Oldenburg Improving Early in the MX Season The Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing Team headed to the iconic Prairie City SVRA this past Saturday for the Hangtown Motocross Classic, Round 2 of the Pro Motocross Championship. Known for its massive elevation changes and brutal, square-edged chop. Benny Bloss put in a gritty, consistent ride against a stacked field. The track was a tale of two conditions: deep moisture in the morning that baked into a hard-packed, rutted surface by the afternoon. Bloss fought through the rough track to secure a solid 13th in Moto 1, followed by a 20th in Moto 2, coming from 40th place after a first lap incident. His effort earned him 15th overall on the round and championship points. Mitchell Oldenburg was strong in qualifying with a 16th place in the session and running with excellent pace. However, as the track deteriorated in the afternoon, the bottomless ruts and racing lines added a different element. Despite that early speed, the tough afternoon motos resulted in 30th and 25th-place finishes, putting him 29th overall for the day. An improvement from round one to continue to build on. The series heads to Colorado this weekend for the third round. |
