The Red Bull KTM team made a statement at the Wetherd MX Race Track this past weekend, delivering a dominant performance across multiple classes. With Cameron Durow, Luke Grundy, and Trey Cox all stepping onto the podium, the team’s return to East London was nothing short of spectacular.
Fresh off a challenging off-season, Cameron Durow proved why he’s one of the top riders in the country. Despite undergoing ACL reconstruction in late October, Durow fought through adversity to secure overall wins in both MX1 and MX2.
“It was a tough day yesterday. I had to dig deep to bring home both overalls. I came into this round with no expectations after the off-season I’ve had. In late October, I had an ACL reconstruction that set me back. Moto 1 felt like I had been thrown in the deep end—so many big mistakes, and my riding was so tense. I regrouped for Moto 2, started to relax, and finally found my flow,” he shared.
It was a day of mixed emotions for Luke Grundy, who claimed his first-ever MX2 moto win before a brutal crash in the second heat forced him to fight his way back through the pack. Despite the setback, he still secured P2 overall.
“A day to remember but also one to forget. Claiming my first-ever MX2 moto win has left me hungry for more. Moto 2 was really late in the day, and the glare was brutal. I got a fourth-place start, but on lap one, I dragged my footpegs up one of the jump ruts, sending me over the bars. I got up quickly, nearly last, and fought my way back to fifth, which was enough to secure second overall,” said Grundy.
Rising star Trey Cox put on a clinic in the High School class, going 1-1 for the overall win. Taking on MX2 for the first time, he put in a strong ride to finish P5, proving he’s ready to take on the next level.
“What a day! Super stoked to walk away with the 1-1. Just have to work on my starts, coming from 15th, every start is hard work,” Cox said with a grin.
With podiums across all three classes and standout performances from the entire team, Red Bull KTM has set the tone for the season ahead. The team now turns their focus to the next round, where they’ll be looking to build on their momentum and continue their winning ways.
