Adam McGill
and Tyler Kiser Celebrate their 1-2
Finish on the GNCC Podium
|
Washington, GA (3/10/2008) -
KTM’s Adam McGill dominated round two of
the Grand National Cross Country series this past
Saturday from start to finish. McGill grabbed
the holeshot and never looked back. McGill stretched
his lead from thirty seconds after the first lap
to one minute after the second lap. McGill got
faster as the race progressed. By lap four, McGill
had earned a five minute lead which he stretched
to a massive six minutes by the checkered flag.
This was the largest gap in GNCC history. The
win was extra special as this was McGill and KTM’s
first Pro GNCC win. “It feels great”,
said McGill on the podium. McGill added, “I
have wanted to race from KTM since the first time
I saw the quad”. The combination was been
successful only two races into their relationship.
Meanwhile, McGill’s FRE/KTM’s teammate,
Taylor Kiser, also put forth an impressive ride.
Kiser fought forward from an eleventh place
start. By the end of the first lap, Kiser had
moved all the way up to the fourth place position
behind McGill (KTM), Chris Bithell (Can-Am),
and Brandon Sommers (Yamaha). Kiser moved up
to third on the third lap of the race. Kiser
and Sommers stayed within seconds of each other
until the last lap when Kiser made a move on
Sommers and then pulled away. Kiser finished
off the perfect day as he earned the FRE/KTM
team an impressive 1-2 finish. “I feel
good now. The sky’s the limit for this
team”, said Kiser on the podium.
The winner of Round 1, Chris Borich (Suzuki),
and the reigning Champion GNCC Champion, Bill
Balance (Yamaha) both had mechanical problems
and were unable to finish the race. The DNFs
earned them 24th and 26th finishes. McGill has
now taken over the series point lead with Kiser
and Cook, each with a second and a fourth, tied
for second.
“These two guys are talented and I am
really proud of their rides today. It doesn’t
get any better than this”, said FRE/KTM’s
Team Manager Tim Farr following the race.
