ROUND
5 - SUNDAY
ATV MOTOS
|
Sunday’s motos got underway without a hitch
and saw Greg Gee grab the moto one holeshot ahead
of Plante, Bank, and Cunnington.
|
Greg Gee ripped
the first Pro moto holeshot on Sunday
as well but was quickly overcome by Plante
as he put on an unstoppable charge to
the front in the first few moments of
the race
|
Jasmin Plante quickly took over the lead during
the first 11:00 AM Pro moto within the first 30
seconds which would send Gee back to second place
with Banks and Pelchat fighting for third and
fourth. Plante would hold off the advances of
the Gee for the entire moto to go on and take
his second win of the weekend. In moto two the
story was much the same for Plante although this
time he was able to secure the holeshot and then
continue to lead the race with no passing required
on his part.

Yamaha's Jasmin
Plante didn't win the holeshot for moto
one on Sunday but he quickly gained the
lead & heald it to take the win, for
moto two he then was able to take the
holeshot & lead all the way to the
finish once again to claim his second
overall win of the weekend & now sits
only 2 points behind Gee in the Pro points
chase
|
“The track remained good to me and I was
able to just go out there and run my race. I really
concentrated on the holeshots and while Gee and
I were battling I knew where he was the entire
time. I just held my lines, concentrated and came
away with both moto wins,” said Plante after
the contest. Plante now sits just a few points
behind Gee in the overall chase for the 2010 Canada
Cup and will be looking for a repeat at Quebec’s
XTown MX Park on August 21-22nd.
Greg Gee went 2-2 on the day at Walton MX right
behind Plante as the pair battled it out in every
turn and over every jump but in the end Gee was
not able to put a pass on Plante for the lead.
Gee earned another 44 points on Sunday and remains
the points leader of the series after rounds four
and five.

ProArmor/Fox's
Greg Gee grabbed the first moto holeshot
but finished in 2nd place while in the
second moto he held 2nd place the entire
moto to go 2-2 & finish 2nd overall
on the day & retain his Championship
points lead
|
“ I got really good starts and stuck with
Jasmin for the length of both motos, I just couldn’t
get around him. This course, because of the cuts,
is really easy to do and doesn’t offer any
tech sections where I could make up any time on
him. It was a good race and I’m happy to
still be in the points lead heading into rounds
six and seven in Quebec,” said Gee.
Richard Pelchat was off to a top 5 start in the
first Pro moto on Sunday and was trailing James
Bank for several laps until he was able to make
the pass up to third place and begin putting some
distance between himself and the rest of the pack
in an effort to catch the front runners.

|
#46 RP Evolution/Can-Am's
Richard Pelchat was able to hang onto
3rd place for both of his Pro motos on
Sunday to walk away with a 3rd place overall
finish & round out the podium after
battling it out on a less-than-favorable
race course
|
Unfortunately for Pelchat he would have to settle
for 3rd place in both motos as he was not able
to make up any time on Plante and Gee due to the
length and condition of the track.
