BENNY BLOSS
The Young rookie, Benny Bloss, is proving he is here to stay already this season. He started out the 250 East Coast season aboard a pure privateer ride. Many in the industry noticed his talents and he has now earned himself a spot filling in for Davi Millsaps at BTO Sports/KTM. Benny is a
big boy and it seems the 450 suits him. Now, Benny has been showing great speed aboard the big bike but bad luck has kept him from achieving the results he looks for. Last weekend he made his way to the Main and gained some much needed experience putting in 20 laps with the best in the world. Standing 6’5”, Benny is the exception to being a true rookie in the premier class and he will only get better with every race he lines up for. Bloss had a very successful amateur career and will do his best to carry it over to the pro ranks. The only thing standing in his way is lack of experience, which can’t be taught; it can only be learned through numerous starts and finishes. Benny will look to finish out this season strong and hopefully land a deal for outdoors. The Missouri native was able to clench the very respectable Horizon award last year at Loretta Lynn’s national championships. Past winners of this award include Pastrana, Stewart, Villopoto, and many other household names. If history repeats itself, Benny should be winning races soon.
