KALIUB RUSSELL BACK ON POINT
A
fter a disappointing DNF at
the previous round, FMF/
KTM Factory Racing's Kailub
Russell answered back in a big
way, taking the overall victory
at the Snowshoe GNCC, round
nine of the 2016 AMSOIL Grand
National Cross Country series
presented by Maxxis on June
26.
Russell captured the hole-
shot off the live-engine start at
the Snowshoe Mountain race,
opened up a gap and held it all
the way to the finish in typical
style. Although he didn't hold
the virtual lead (on adjusted
time) throughout the entirety
of the race, he retained the
physical lead all the way to the
checkered flag.
After starting from the second
row (riders start in 4-rider rows
at the unique Snowshoe venue),
Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KR4
Arrive-N-Ride team's Thad Duvall
made his way into third. While
Russell was still physically out
front, Duvall held the lead on
adjusted time on the second
Kailub Russell led from
start to finish at the
Snowshoe GNCC.
