KTM Racing Press Release: The 2015 KTM RC Cup Championship came to a conclusion on Sunday with the fifth and final round of the MotoAmerica Series in Millville, New Jersey. Twenty-year-old Gage McAllister emerged as the first-ever RC Cup Champion after capturing a race one victory over his Canadian competitor, Braeden Ortt. Race two saw a second-time winner with Anthony Mazziotto III shining bright in front of his home state crowd and a season high number of 37 RC Cup participants. Mazziotto kicked off the weekend in a big way as he qualified fastest in the timed sessions, claiming pole position for both races. Behind the New Jersey native was a head-to-head battle between McAllister and Ortt, who entered the final round with a 22-point gap in the championship standings. McAllister began in the fifth place position, where he quickly made his way into a multi-way battle for the lead position. Ortt, who injured his right hand during an earlier qualifying session, came into race one with a thirteenth place start position. The Canadian pushed his way into the sixth place position, where he ultimately finished in race one. Meanwhile, McAllister battled it out with Mazziotto and Justin McWilliams for the top spot. In true form, McAllister held strong to capture not only a race one victory, but the first-ever RC Cup Championship. 
“It’s a speechless moment,” McAllister commented after the race. “I enjoy racing a spec-series like the KTM RC Cup because it allows the rider’s talent to shine through and I look forward to seeing the talent continue to grow each year.” Texas’ Justin McWilliams held on to capture third place behind Mazziotto in race one, proving his bid for a top-five position in the championship standings. Pennsylvania’s Benjamin Smith put in an impressive showing in his RC Cup debut, claiming fourth place in race one, while New Jersey’s very own Brandon Paasch rounded out the top five in only his second RC Cup appearance. With the championship wrapped up, race two focused on the remaining top-five positions, as four tickets to the World Final at Silverstone were still up for grabs. Mazziotto got off to favorable start and opened an even bigger gap when another rider made a mistake to hold back the rest of the pack. It didn’t take long for Illinois native Jody Barry and newly-crowned champion McAllister to jump into the lead battle, where the three riders swapped several times for the top spot.
