ITP's
Chris Bithell placed second in
the ATV Pro Class at Unadilla
GNCC Round 9 in New Berlin, New
York
|
Ontario, CA (9/21/2011) -
ITP continues to contend in numerous classes
in this year’s Grand National Cross
Country Championship Series. In the XC1
Pro division, the Foremost Insurance/Warnert
Can-Am duo of Adam McGill and Chris Bithell
have been consistent frontrunners on a combination
of ITP Holeshot GNCC and QuadCross XC tires.
Following round 10 in Unadilla, New York,
where Bithell was 2nd and McGill 3rd, they
are 2-3 in the point standings, with McGill
holding a 10-point edge.
Patrick McGuire has been consistently
quick in the XC2 Pro Am
class, notching five top-5s (with three
podium appearances). His third
place at Unadilla put him into third place
in the standings.
Angel Atwell charged to her second Women’s
class victory of the season at Unadilla
(second overall in the morning Amateur
class competition), and currently holds
a strong second place in her division’s
points with three events remaining on
the schedule.
Perhaps most impressive of all is the
year-long performance of Dave Simmons.
Competing in the 50+ Master’s class,
Simmons once again was the overall winner
of the morning’s racing at Unadilla—ahead
of hundreds of other amateurs. This feat
has been accomplished six times so far
in 2011! And except for one DNF, he’s
won his class at every round, effectively
locking up the series championship (a
rider’s best nine finishes are counted).
We’re looking forward to seeing
what these riders can do in the last three
races of the season. Stay tuned.
ITP continues to provide generous contingency
and trackside support for GNCC competitors
in 2011. For more information or to become
