Marco Dube piloted his AMSOIL/KTM to a top ten finish in the first CMRC Canadian National Series (motocross) in Ste-Julie, Quebec.Dube struggled out of the gate in the first moto. He joined a crowded first turn and came out of the mess in 30th. Within two laps he was able to move into 12th. Just after the mid-point of the race, Dube ran out of tear offs on his goggles and had to ride the remainder of the muddy race with out his goggles. He was able to move into seventh by the time the checkered fell.
In Sunday's second moto, Dube started in fourth after turn one. A bobble pushed him back two spots early on before the dirt once again caused havoc in his eyesight. A chunk of mud was lodged inside his goggles, blurring his vision. While trying to adjust his view, he dropped three more spots to ninth, his finishing position. Overall, Dube finished the weekend in sixth.
"I’m confident," said Dube. "I got the speed, the bike is really good and the shape is there, so, with good starts I’ll get into the front of the pack."
