Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki Team Green™ Battles Through Adversity at All-New GNCC Venue
Rocky Mountain Red Bear Kawasaki Team Green™ set out for Round 5 of the Progressive Grand National Cross Country series in Hazard, Kentucky. The day was full of ups and downs as the team looks to rebound next time out.
Steward Baylor got off to a good start and quickly made his way to the rear tire of the overall leader. Unfortunately, while coming through pit row for the first time, his bike suffered a mechanical issue that would end his day.
Josh Toth sacrificed his race day after a fellow competitor went down hard in front of him. Toth halted his race to stay with the injured rider until medical services were able to arrive and assist him. Toth would finish the race 10th in XC1 and 30th overall.
The team was also one rider down as XC2 contender Nick DeFeo suffered a practice crash earlier in the week that resulted in a broken femur and pelvis, ending his season.
Next up, the team heads to Monterey, Tennessee, for The Old Gray GNCC on May 3.
