For the 10th round the GNCC stopped in New Berlin, NY. Husqvarna rider Jason Thomas was able to take the lead in the first lap of the race. For the next hour Jason and his hardest competitor Jordan Ashburn showed the most exciting fight for the whole season so far. Over one hour the gap between the two was not bigger than 15 seconds. During 10 exhausting laps Thomas was able to defend his lead on his Husqvarna TE250 till the last uphill section in front of the finish line. 20m away of the finish a lapped rider fall of his bike in front of Jason Thomas who couldn’t avoid a crash with the bike. After the race a disappointed Thomas (“Yes I am disappointed I lost the race so close to the finish. But I gained points in the championship! I am strong and my Husqvarna TXC 250 worked awesome.”) also noticed some positive issues in the race. In the championship Thomas was able to get closer to Steward Baylor Jr. who is now only 24 points ahead.
