the River Ranch GNCC

River Ranch, FL FRE/KTM Factory rider Adam
McGill finished 3rd overall in the first round
of the ATV GNCC Series.
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
Womens 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.
