Yadkinville, NC –
FRE/KTM Factory rider Adam McGill earned 5th
overall at the eighth round of the GNCC Series
while his teammate Taylor Kiser also finished
inside the top ten taking home a hard fought 8th
overall.
McGill got a decent start and was battling with
the top riders early on. Unfortunately, his
teammate, Kiser, had worse luck and neared the
first turn almost dead last. In the first lap,
Kiser was able to charge through the pack and
move into 10th at the check point. From that
point it became more difficult for Kiser to pass
the other riders as the course was dusty and
tight through many sections. “I rode to the best
of my ability but once the top riders began to
spread themselves out it was hard to make up
time in the dust. It appeared that where you
started was where you would finish,” commented
Kiser.
Kiser did eventually move into 8th place and
began to catch William Yokley and Chris Borich
on the last lap. “By the time I got them in
view, we were down to three miles to go with
only tight sections left. Unfortunately, I
couldn’t get close enough to make the pass,”
reported Kiser. “I was happy with my performance
today considering my poor start and the track
conditions and I am just hoping for a better
start at the next round.”
McGill rode a smooth and consistent race and
finished 5th overall. His 5th place finish puts
him 3rd overall in the series points just one
point shy of second place.
