The Red Bull KTM team had a triumphant weekend at the 6th round of the National Motocross Championship held at Zone 7 in Cape Town this past weekend. The team’s orange-clad riders dominated the event, securing multiple podium finishes and clinching championship titles.
Cameron Durow clinched both the MX1 and MX2 national championships with one race still remaining, marking the second time he has secured both titles before the season’s end. The talented rider secured both class wins in the MX1 and MX2, cementing his position as the dominant force in South African motocross.
“It’s been a tough year with a lot of ups and downs,” Durow commented. “I’ve learned a lot and I’m incredibly grateful for the support of my dad, my girlfriend, KTM, and all my sponsors. These championships are dedicated to them.”
Youngster Trey Cox also had a remarkable day, claiming another race win this season. The young rider’s consistent performances throughout the year have solidified his status as a rising star in South African motocross. Cox secured victories in both heats, extending his lead in the championship standings and going into the last race of the season with 29 points ahead.
“The weekend was another one for the books for me, I am so happy to go into the last race of the season with a solid amount of points”, Cox said. “I am so excited for round 7 and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to race for the Red Bull KTM team and for the support of everyone involved.”
Luke Grundy faced some challenges during the day due to illness but still managed to secure a second-overall finish for the day. His 4-2 finishes in the motos were enough to earn valuable points and keep him in contention.
“It wasn’t my best day, but I’m happy with the second-overall finish,” Grundy said. “I had some flu symptoms, but I’m grateful for the support of the Red Bull KTM team and for being kept safe.”
Kerim Fitz-Gerald, the team manager, expressed his pride in the team’s performance. “I’m incredibly proud of the boys and their achievements,” he said. “They’ve flown the orange flag high and represented Red Bull KTM South Africa with distinction. It’s been a phenomenal season so far, and we’re excited to finish strong.”
