Valcourt, Canada (3/2/2010) - The
2010 ATV race season started in spectacular fashion
for many of the Can-Am X-Team racers Sunday at the
Grand National Cross Country opening round near
Lake Wells, Florida. Team Warnert Racing / Can-Am®
rider, Adam McGill, had a great debut on the Can-Am
DS 450™ EFI ATV taking third overall in the
afternoon in XC1 Pro class. He and his teammate,
Chris Bithell, had their DS 450 ATVs up front for
the entire two-hour race with McGill leading for
two of the five laps. Bithell finished fourth overall.
Warnert Racing's Lexie Coulter piloted her DS 450
to the Women's class win and the morning overall
title; this is her first overall win on the DS 450.
"It is always good to start the season on
a positive note and clearly our racers and teams
worked hard in the off-season to produce the results
we had in Florida," says Jimmie O'Dell, Racing
Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "Now it is
time to build on these performances and work hard
week after week to bring home championships."
