WLTN Kawasaki Hits Its Stride at Riverglade
WLTN Kawasaki came alive at Round 6 of the Canadian Triple Crown Series, putting together its most exciting weekend of the season at Riverglade MX in Moncton, New Brunswick.
In the 250 Class, Dylan Walsh showed serious fight. After a rough start in Moto 1, he clawed his way from 15th up to third. Then, as the rain came down in Moto 2, Walsh got out front early and never gave up the lead, taking the win and earning second overall for the day.
In the 450 Class, Phil Nicoletti found his groove. He held down second place for most of Moto 1 and finished third. In Moto 2, he nailed the holeshot and went bar-to-bar with Jess Pettis before locking in his first moto win of the season. With a 3-1 finish, Nicoletti also took second overall and now sits just one point away from the championship lead.
“This was the kind of day we’ve been working toward,” said WLTN Kawasaki’s Brett Lee. “We had support coming in from all over the Kawasaki family—dealers, staff, fans. It really fired the team up. It’s a great reminder of why we do this.”
With only a few rounds left, the WLTN Kawasaki crew is carrying serious momentum into Round 7 in Deschambault, Quebec, ready to keep the pressure on.

“ We have made a lot of progress since I came back to racing from my shoulder injury earlier this year and we almost earned another podium tonight. It’s tough when you don’t get a start at the very front in the East/West Showdown races because it’s so competitive in the class. I had good speed and kept pushing to the end but couldn’t quite close the gap. Next we go to the Pro Motocross season and will be ready to fight for the championship.”
Carson Mumford
"I was unfortunately toward the back from the start and really had my work cut out for me to earn a top-10. With the East/West Showdown format, there are just so many good guys out there that you have to be on point the whole way through. I think we’ve made good progress as a group and, even though I joined the team a little behind the eight ball, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in this short time. I’m super grateful to the whole Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki squad and, as my butt patch said, this has been a ‘Dream Job’ for me.”
Chris Blose
“I was in the mix for the early portion of the race but just fell back toward the end. It wasn’t my best night of the season, but there are still plenty of positives to highlight from this year as a whole. It’s been great to race with the support of the Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team and I’m really thankful to Mitch [Payton] for this opportunity. I only had a few days on the bike before we started racing and still, we managed to finish in the top-five of 250SX East points. That sort of progress doesn’t come without a lot of effort and sacrifice so, a big shoutout to the whole crew for always going the extra mile and backing me completely.”
