Suwanee, GA (3/21/2012) - In an
ending that would have only seemed possible in a
movie, Walker Fowler walked to third place in XC1
Pro at the GNCC’s Round 2, the Maxxis General.
Maxxis swept the XC1 top four at the race, held
March 17 in Washington, Georgia, with Chris Borich
earning his second win of the year.
Displaying extraordinary determination after
his ATV failed near the finish, Fowler and his
team pushed the bike around the rest of the course.
When that was no longer possible, last year’s
undefeated XC2 champ was aided in walking, thoroughly
exhausted, to the finish line. "It went real
well,” said Fowler. “I got a holeshot
with my Maxxis tires. They hooked up awesome.
I led the first part of the race and then had
a rookie error getting stuck in the mud hole and
got behind everybody. But I just hung in there
all day and positioned myself in a good spot the
last lap and me and another Maxxis rider, Chris
Borich, duked it out. I had a little issue at
the end with a possible [motor failure] but we
pushed it in and I'm glad to be on the podium
finally."
After a close race, Borich won in the last lap,
and went on to praise the performance of his Maxxis
tires. "We got off to a good start,”
he said. “It looked like I was going to
get the holeshot, but [another rider] came into
me; actually, I felt his tire hit my back at one
point he came up so hard, but all in all it was
a great day out there. It was a good track. I
can't thank Maxxis tires enough. I'm getting good
starts and just being able to go through mud holes
to the slick corners. I mean, this clay here gets
super slick." Taylor Kiser took second place
in XC1 for Maxxis, with Brian Wolf in fourth.
Riders on Razrs also did well in XC2 Pro Lites,
taking both the win and third place. Gabe Phillips
took the victory and was joined on the podium
by Nathan Thomas.
In the morning race, Traci Cecco won the Women’s
class and took third overall. Cliff Beasley of
Team UXC Racing took first in U2 and fifth overall
on Bighorn 2.0 tires.
After two races, defending champ Borich leads
the XC1 standings, with Fowler in third place
and Kiser, Wolf and Mark Notman in eighth, ninth
and tenth places. Thomas is second in XC2 points,
while Phillips is fifth. Cecco and Beasley lead
their respective classes.
Maxxis congratulates Chris Borich and Gabe Philips
on their victory and thanks all of its riders
for their fine performances.
