DeMartile Fights Hard for Podium Spot at Glen Helen NGPC

 

At Round 6 of the NGPC Series at the Glen Helen MotoFest, Liqui Moly Beta’s Dare DeMartile delivered a strong ride to secure a third-place overall finish aboard his 450 RC. Bouncing back from a challenging fifth round, DeMartile grabbed a top-three start before heading into the single-track sections, where heavy silt and zero visibility separated the lead pack early on. Despite losing touch with the frontrunners in the blinding dust during the opening laps, he kept his head down, maintaining a blistering pace and feeling great on the bike throughout the grueling course. His return to the podium was exactly the reset he needed, allowing him to head into the summer break sitting a comfortable second overall in the Pro class championship standings with 126 points.

“It was a good redemption round for me. The pace was hot! The end result was a lot about the start. I got off to an okay start, top three, then battled. Went all the way to the single-track section, and there was big silt there, so that kind of separated us for the first couple laps due to no visibility there. But kept my head down, felt great, riding felt great, just wish I was a little closer to the guys at the beginning to hold off at the end.”
