Chino, CA (3/2/2010) - The 2010 GNCC
season got off to a great start at Westgate
River Ranch on Sunday for Yoshimura Suzuki rider
Chris Borich, after he made a series of carefully
executed passes in the final laps of the race
to take the checkered flag in the XC1 Pro event.
Chris started the race in fifth place, but by
racing smart and biding his time with his Yoshimura-equipped
QuadRacer R450, he took advantage of every possible
opportunity. "I knew it was going to be
a rough track and I just paced myself and then
made my move,” said Borich. “I just
let the track come to me and everyone made little
mistakes and I was able to take advantage of
it.I pretty much made my moves around the mud
holes and anywhere else I could find."
Chris was in third place by the time the riders
hit the woods for the first time, and there
he stayed until the second to last lap of the
race. With just over a lap to go, he made the
pass for second and started his charge to the
lead. On the last lap he managed to make the
final pass for the lead, and by the end of the
race Chris had opened a 1.4 second lead over
second place.
Chris was heavily favored to win due to his
dominance of last year’s GNCC series,
during which he took 9 race wins, two additional
podiums, and finished the series an impressive
97 points ahead of second place. Chris is looking
to continue that domination this season, and
if his performance on Sunday is any indication,
Chris is well on his way to piloting his Yoshimura-equipped
Suzuki to another GNCC title
