KTM Racing’s Kailub Russell concluded his winning Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series in style with a victory in the AMSOIL Ironman at Crawfordsville, Indiana.
Russell managed to take victory on a KTM 150cc two-stroke to round out the season, a stunning performance ahead of Australian Josh Strang (Rocky Mountain ATV/MC N-Fab AmPro Yamaha).
Strang’s runner-up secured him second in the standings as well for 2014, now heading directly to Argentina to represent Australia in the International Six-Day Enduro (ISDE).
The Ironman was a difficult event for Australia’s Daniel Milner, credited 19th after completing just two laps on Sunday due to damaging his front brake caliper in contact with a lapped rider.
In the Women’s category Tayla Jones rode her KTM to victory, winning comfortably from Rachel Gutish and Jessica Patterson in her second appearance of the season.
