Defending AMA MAXC Pro Champion Taylor Kiser took the final spot the on season opener Pro podium. Despite only having an hour and a half of seat time between the final AMA MAXC Round last year and the AMA MAXC Season Opener this year, it looked as if Kiser had been training all winter. The Maxxis backed racer didn’t miss a beat and spent the first two laps in second place before over taking the lead during the third lap. The top three battle was tight, as lapped riders began to an issue late into the race. Between the final two laps, Kiser got held up by a lapped rider that slowed down his pace and consequently dropped him back to third before crossing the finish line.
