(3/5/2009) - McGill started around
5th and spent the first lap catching the top three
riders. He eventually caught up to the pack and
passed his way up through to the lead position.
Once he was in first he held the position for
one lap until he took on unexpected crash which
lost him time. He recovered and started to catch
back up to the front runners until realizing that
his crash had caused damage to his machine which
would cause him to return to the pits.
Once in the pits his mechanics worked vigorously
to quickly fix the mechanical problems. When
he reentered the track he was 4th and with two
laps to go he moved back up to 3rd. “I
wish I could have taken the win but after my
crash and long pit stop I am just happy I made
it to the podium,” stated McGill.
FRE/KTM Factory rider Josh Kirkland, in the
XC2 Pro Am class, rode a solid race taking the
first win of the season aboard his brand new
KTM. Kirkland started around 3rd and in a smooth
and consistent race he was able to easily move
past the other rides to take the lead and the
win. KTM support rider, David Crane, finished
2nd overall. The final member of the team, Angel
Atwell, had the same result as Kirkland in the
Women’s Pro morning race when she took
the win with over a minute lead on the rest
of the field. “I had a great time today
and I hope to continue these results through
the remainder of the series,” commented
Atwell.
