#7
Joe Byrd suffered issues in both Motos,
which wiped out his pro points lead, but
he wasn't alone with issues this round |
American Honda’s Joe Byrd had a little
trouble this weekend when a first moto dismount
cost him a top five finish, and mechanical issues
ended things early for him in moto two. Josh Creamer
also had a tough day as he was caught up in a
first turn pile up in moto one and then suffered
bike issues on top of it. Keith Little was also
on the list for issues when he snapped his axle
in the first moto and Can-Am’s Cody Miller
ran into mechanical issues and was forced to DNF
in moto two.

It
didn't matter if you were running Red, Green,
Blue, or Yellow, the high speed & big
air Unadilla motocross track claimed its
fair share of engines, axles, and more,
which had the track crew working over time
hauling in Pros after each Moto |
Nick DeNoble and Clay Holmes were both dealing
with injuries this weekend. Holmes ended up sitting
out this round, but DeNoble decided to race anyway
and despite having a hurt shoulder, DeNoble was
still able to get off to a top five start in the
first moto, but was unable to hold that position
due to bike problems.

The
injured #123 Nick DeNoble had an impressive
run in 1st Moto till he suffered a mechanical
failure, which ended his moto short after
running in the Top 5

Kawasaki's
#9 Josh Creamer had high hopes for his race
closest to his home in New England, but
it wasn't meant to be with Creamer finishing
out of the Top 10 |
The next round of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Series will be held on June 28th in Blountville,
TN where Muddy Creek will be the hosting facility
as Kawasaki’s Chad Wienen and American Honda’s
Joe Byrd will be battling it out for the point
lead.
