Knight scores sixth win

From KTM Racing

Red Bull KTM factory rider David Knight earned his sixth win of the season at the 10th round of the GNCC Series at the beautiful Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort last weekend.

This event offered a unique start where riders were released in groups of five based on their point standings exactly five seconds apart. As they bolted forward on the start, Knight came in a bit too hot on the first turn and was forced to back down as the riders dropped from the street into the wooded section. This caused him to drop to ninth while his teammate Nathan Kanney had a better line and entered the woods in second position.

Although the race was quite challenging due to the rocky and mud-infested wooded sections, Knight was able to make up some time and move into second position by the end of the first lap. Kanney made a couple of mistakes which caused him to fall to fourth place.

Knight moved into the lead on lap two, and lost it briefly after pitting for gas on lap three. He quickly regained the lead on the fourth lap and held on to win the race.

Kanney stayed within the top five and earned an impressive third place finish.
