Morgantown, WV (4/5/2011)
- After winning eleven of thirteen races
in 2010, Chris Borich secured the Championship and
rolled into the 2011 Can-Am Grand National Cross
Country Series with more momentum then ever. Borich
kept it going as he had a nine-race winning streak
heading into the last round at the FMF Steele Creek
GNCC. Unfortunately, after passing for the lead
on the last lap, Borich experienced some mechanical
issues that left his bike to sputter past the finish
line in fifth place.
McGill took his first win of the year at Steele
CreekForemost Insurance Warnert Racing Can-Am
rider Adam McGill secured his first win of the
season after battling with teammate Chris Bithell
throughout the two-hour race. Bithell led a majority
of the race until he lost his rear brakes on the
last lap, giving McGill the opportunity to hammer
out the win.
Round four of the 2011 Can-Am GNCC tour, the
Pirelli Big Buck GNCC in Union, South Carolina,
takes place this weekend April 9-10. Now that
the Can-Am duo has broken up the winning streak
of Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Chris Borich, the
playing field has evened back out to a championship
chase that could be anyone's claim.
Another contender in the quest for the GNCC title
is Ballance Racing Yamaha's Taylor Kiser, who
currently sits fourth in the point standings.
Kiser was docked a position at Steele Creek after
choosing a bad line on the course but there's
definitely possibility for Kiser to step up and
get a moto win amongst the stacked field of XC1
riders.
Borich experienced bike problems at Steele Creek,
