Zane Roberts Continues Podium Streak with Runner-Up Finish Jericho

Liqui Moly Beta’s Zane Roberts continued his streak of podium finishes with a strong runner-up performance at the 65th Cherry Creek Hare & Hound National in Utah. Despite a solid start that put him near the front of the pack in the opening miles, Roberts faced a significant challenge in the Little Sahara Recreation Area’s sand dunes, where he admittedly struggled to match the pace of the leaders. However, once clear of the dunes, Roberts showcased his technical skill by charging back through the field. While his heart rate spiked to nearly 200 BPM during the intense sand sections, he managed to execute a clean race through the cedars and hills to secure his fourth consecutive second-place finish of the season, maintaining his position as the primary challenger in the AMA National Hare & Hound Championship.

“Pretty solid weekend for the fourth round of the National Hare and Hound series. I executed my start well and got out to an early lead. Unfortunately, I struggled pretty badly in the first 20 miles of sand dunes and fell back a few spots before recovering and working my way back towards the front. I once again spent most of the day going back and forth, closing the gap to the leader and then getting pulled away from it. It’s been a challenging start to the year, but we’ll keep working and get some wins in the future.”
