Record crowds and perfect weather welcomed the 7th round of the CMRC Series to Riverglade MX Track in Moncton, New Brunswick.

The Royal Distributing KTM team was looking to pick up where they left off before the break and get some strong results on the East Coast.

MX 2 Qualifying race had rider #62 Iain Hayden back on his Royal Distributing KTM 250SX-F. Hayden got a great start after the gate dropped and battled with the top riders in the series and gathered another direct qualifying position for Sunday's motos.

In the MX1 qualifier Marco Dube piloted his Royal Distributing KTM SX450 directly into a great gate position for the Sunday program after setting top 8 lap times.

Moto 1 of the MX2 class got underway with Iain Hayden's Royal Distributing #62 rounding the first corner in 5th place.

Iain raced a great race with close battles throughout the 30 minute moto and finished in 8th place. Happy with his effort he was looking forward to the second moto.

As the gate dropped on the 1st MX1 moto in Moncton the # 24 of Marco Dube got a top ten start. His Royal Distributing KTM proved to be a great match for the tough conditions of the Riverglade track and Dube crossed the checkered flag in 6th position after charging the entire moto.

The second MX2 moto began with Iain Hayden getting yet another top 5 start. Hayden's speed on the powerful Royal Distributing KTM 250SX-F is improving every moto. The track was getting very rutted up and Hayden took some nasty hits from fellow competitors but managed to find the strength to keep it up on two wheels and crossed the finish line in 10th position.

His 8-10 moto finishes resulted in his best finish of the series so far with an 8th overall for the weekend.

Royal Distributing's Premiere class rider Marco Dube rounded the first corner in 10th place at the start of the last MX1 moto of the day.

Marco found some fast lines and used his skill to pass his competitors and finished just a fender behind 6th spot for a 7th. With his first moto 6th his overall for Sunday's race was an impressive and consistant 6th place. After 7 rounds of the series in the books Royal Distributing riders Marco Dube sits in 5th position overall, while teamate Iain Hayden is currently placed in 8th just 4 points out of 7th.

With only two remaining rounds in the series to go Team Royal Distributing is excited and looking forward to putting up some strong results at the new Sand Del Lee track in Ottawa next weekend.
