River Ranch, FL - The Can-Am
Grand National Cross Country Series kicked off
its 2010 schedule in grand style as riders from
nearly 25 states attended the opening round
at the beautiful Westgate River Ranch in Lake
Wales, Florida. Chris Borich came into the Parts
Unlimited River Ranch GNCC as the heavy favorite
after dominating last year's series, and the
Yoshimura Suzuki rider backed it up by coming
from behind to take a thrilling win in the XC1
final. Meanwhile, Honda-mounted Brian Wolf took
the win in the highly competitive XC2 division,
also turning in a come-from-behind performance.
