The Red Bull KTM motocross team had an outstanding performance at the fifth round of the season held at the iconic Thunder Valley motocross track. Cameron Durow, Luke Grundy, and Trey Cox represented the team with great efforts across various classes, making it a memorable event for the team and fans alike.
Cameron Durow has been a force to be reckoned with this season, dominating both the MX1 and MX2 classes all year round. As Thunder Valley is his home National, he once again proved his skills by taking an impressive 4 for 4 in both classes, continuing his unbeaten streak. Competing in the US has evidently paid off for Durow, who expressed his delight after the race.
“It’s been an incredible season so far and the day was real exciting racing on my home turf,” said Durow. “Thunder Valley is a challenging track and the track was a bit different this weekend, but the competition and experience I’ve gained in the US has really helped me step up my game. I’m thrilled with the results and looking forward to keeping this momentum going.”
Luke Grundy, another standout performer in the MX2 class, celebrated a milestone achievement with his first-ever P1 finish in qualifying. Grundy managed to secure second place in both heats on the day, leaving him happy but not yet truly satisfied until he claims the top step.
“Getting my first P1 in the MX2 class is a real big accomplishment for me,” said Grundy. “The competition was fierce, and the track was tough, but I pushed through and stayed focused. This is just the beginning, and I’m excited for what’s to come.”
Trey Cox, who was also racing on his home turf, and recently travelled abroad to Europe to compete there, faced some challenges during the race. Despite a few bad starts and a crash in the first heat, Cox recovered and ultimately secured second overall for the day.
“It wasn’t my best day behind the bars, I’ve been feeling a bit sick after coming back from Europe. I felt fast but not fast enough to push to my maximum for that first place but I’m proud of how I managed to recover and still finish strong,” said Cox. “I qualified P1 at the start of the day and it all just turned around from there crashing in my first heat. Racing at this level is always a learning experience, and I’m taking everything in stride as I continue to improve. Luckily, I didn’t lose any valuable points and I am still in the run and looking forward to Cape Town.”
“We are extremely proud of the entire team’s performance this weekend,” said Kerim Fitz-Gerald, Red Bull KTM Team Manager. “Cameron’s dominance in both classes, Luke’s fighting spirit and achievement, and Trey’s ability to push through despite the challenges all speak to the hard work and commitment of our riders. We’re excited to see what the rest of the season holds and are confident in our continued success.”
