TOP 10 RESULT FOR JORDAN ASHBURN IN THE OLD GRAY GNCC UPON RETURN
FLATROCK MOTORCLUB GASGAS RIDER DISPLAYS FRONT-RUNNING PACE EARLY ON
• Former GNCC Champion returns to racing after being sidelined with injury
• Top 10 finish in the Tennessee woods after recovering from an early race mishap
• XC2 250 Pro newcomer Jason Tino experiences a tough day at the fifth round
On a technical, diverse race track, Asburn earned the holeshot on board his GASGAS EX 350F, feeling comfortable at the head of the field before an incident forced him into the pits as a result.
Following those repairs, Ashburn would post a recovery ride for the remainder of the event, coming back to a ninth-place finish in the XC1 Open Pro class at the end of the three-hour encounter.
Jordan Ashburn: “I grabbed a holeshot to start the day and felt comfortable the first few laps. I then unfortunately tagged a tree on the third lap, requiring us to change a radiator on lap four. I tried my best to crawl up the standings as far as I could after that, and overall, I am happy with the bike and team today and glad to be back racing!”
Flatrock Motorclub GASGAS Factory Racing teammate and XC2 250 Pro Class rider Jason Tino exited the race in Tennessee after what was a challenging day for the young rider in his first full pro class GNCC campaign. He will now aim to reset for the upcoming rounds.
Jason Tino: "I got off to a really good start and put in a really good first lap. On lap two I had a big crash that really shook me up, so lost a minute there. I got back going again, then had another big one, so decided it was smart to pull out of the race and walk away healthy."
