the number three spot and uh how about that right here we're going to see ricky russell uh moving into that number two spot there as they went into the woods section and honestly that was about as close as they would get to caleb russell all day long it was his show and not without some drama in round number one mechanical errors and of course injuries to both thad duvall on your screen right there when will he be back racing as well as this guy ben kelly going out with an injury as well when will we see these guys back out at a gncc we're not sure we know they're not lining up today and round one that recap again what a ride out of ricky russell but like we said caleb russell was the guy to beat josh strang there in the number three spot so that was your one two and three as we see caleb russell checking in at big buck with his first win of this farewell tour here in 2020 how about that and now we take a look at the top 10 from the big buck gncc and we actually got a chance to catch up with caleb after the race yeah i was expecting ricky to be fast you know he was fasting last year on the yamaha and i knew uh maybe a little smaller bike that 350 might seem a little bit better and he's kind of coming in as a rider you know he's he's turning around as a rider so he's definitely you know stronger better he works hard so um yeah i wasn't super surprised he's built like i said he's been uh you know he rides good so i'm happy to see some new guys up there mixing it up it's cool and like i said we'll just try to keep doing our own thing and set that base i love that 10 second call looking through the yamaha racing sky cam and a whole shot award up for grabs here with row number one the xc1 courtesy of all balls who's going to get it it's caleb russell how about that lane michael right behind him in the number two spot and looked like jordan ashburn there in third so these guys off and rolling great start ashburn gets around lane michael right there but boy great start for those guys and boy it may end up being a long day for that guy right there josh strang last rider into the woods but you know a rider like strang after a strong finish in round number one wants to come out here and have some of the same success but that start he is definitely gonna have his work cut out for him here today but a veteran and he knows there's a lot of racing action left a lot of time for him to catch up to these guys we go back now to the starting line the xc2 250 pro class hot cams hole shot award up for grabs who is gonna snag this one help out at simon johnson the number 23 ktm boy got to feel good about that one he's coming off a 10th place finish in round number one simon johnson actually the top amateur in 2019 and i gotta say i think we expect to see some big things out of simon johnson this season and what is a very stacked xc2 class johnny gerard mike wikowski coming off the win and of course craig delong riding aboard the rockstar energy husk varna today we'll see how that one plays out back down to the start line now the fmf xc3 courtesy uh yamaha racing skycam right there can't get enough of that shot man what what a uh what a cool look into the start dominic morris taking the whole shot there on the number 156 and tyler sylvia on the sureco machine in that number two spot and boy how about that look at that lead already for dominic morris to start things off good start for this one see if he can hang on to that one again like we're saying the string three-hour race it's early but that's definitely the start you want to see well with our uh three featured classes off and rolling we jump back into the racing action here caleb russell out in front jordan ashburn behind him in the number two spot aboard the monster energy kawasaki the babbitt's online monster energy kawasaki and elaine michael good start for him on the ampro yamaha and the factory one sureco of stu baylor in fourth gncc returns right after this [Music] coverage of the 2020 grand national cross country series on mav tv is brought to you in part by specialized turbo e-bikes it's you only faster rocky mountain atvmc get ready and by yamaha revs your heart welcome back to the moose racing wild boar gncc here in palatka florida caleb russell still out in front in this one trying to do exactly what he did in round number one control the pace put some distance between him and the rest of the pack ash burned there in the number two spot and followed closely in third by elaine michael and how about that in the number four spot knocking on the door elaine michael is stu baylor a familiar position we saw stu in just a couple weeks back at round number one big buck seemed like he just couldn't quite catch up to that third place is that going to be some of the things same things we're seeing here today ricky russell there on screen i believe in the number five spot with andrew delong in fourth as caleb russell making his way in and through the fmf powerpoint section and uh yeah i just i gotta wonder man are we gonna see the same kind of day for stu baylor there in that number four spot maybe that's what he's thinking too is dog gone it i don't wanna be here i gotta get up and fight for this uh top three position here baylor on screen there kind of looked over his shoulder probably wondering who's behind me who's behind me how much time have i gotten so uh caleb russell now back on screen and making quick work of that section these guys it's not easy by any means but boy they sure make make it look easy impressive riding out of our top four riders right there as lane michael goes by on the screen and grant baylor the 314 factory one sureco on screen right there oh how about that look at the pass by ricky russell getting around andrew delong wow ricky russell on the charge the 2-1-2 coastal racing husqvarna is absolutely ripping out there right now that is impressive stuff and the 998 not a familiar number if you're if you watch for this regularly that is actually todd kellet out of the uk uh he moves into the i believe that's the number six spot for him after a ninth place uh start on the day finding his groove here in the sands of florida how about that florida one of those rounds where we see a lot of faces and riders we don't normally get at any other race of the year as many know uh daytona bike week goes on while we're down here in florida and of course supercross as well so it gives riders and just motorcycle enthusiasts a chance to make a short drive over here to palatka and check out what gncc racing is all about so starting to see a gap between caleb russell and in fact the first and second and third place riders uh all within each other's grasp at this point but caleb russell's still in control ashburn and stu have to like where they're at right now not ready for uh to let caleb russell out of their sights just yet lane michael's still in that number four spot trying to keep the pace of our front runners love this open section here gives us a chance uh to see these guys battle and see some of the speed they have here in the sands of florida and how about that yamaha racing sky cam doesn't get much better than that absolutely a big shout out to the fine folks eraser tv and racer productions for their hard work and the progression with this broadcast certainly nothing like the gncc in the world and uh boy front row seats we'll have more front row seat action here in just a second welcome back to the moose racing wild boar gncc caleb russell still out in front in this one the number 127 babitts online monster energy kawasaki still in second that is jordan ashburn and how about this lane michael on the ambro yamaha now into the number three spot where is stu baylor and look at this not good eric the mechanic for the factory one sureco team on the radio there grant baylor putting his bike up on the stand and stu baylor on the e-bike no helmet heading back in the opposite direction this is absolute chaos for the sureco pits right now not where you want to be looks like grant baylor the 314 machine able to get back on two wheels and out on the track this is going to be a long afternoon if you're a grant baler and you've got to wonder if maybe stu isn't done for the day right there man that is a heartbreaker for the factory one sureco team i will say this they knew they were new on the gncc pro row this season they have got the pieces to the puzzle it's just a matter of getting it all put together they're making adjustments in round one they're making adjustments obviously here today they'll get it together i believe they will before this season's up back into the racing action caleb you saw on screen still out in front jordan ashburn hard on the charge there in the number two spot as they pass the eight mile marker we got a little shot of gncc photographer ken hill right there and there is the 523 amp pro yamaha of lane michael in the number three spot what a ride out of lane today we have certainly seen some glimpses of greatness for elaine michael buddy can he keep that pace for three hours and how about this ricky russell bust onto the scene wow where did ricky russell come from he wants to throw his name in the hat now caleb russell back on screen man i want to see where ricky russell's at that was impressive came out of nowhere there's jordan ashburn right there and right behind him as they work around lappers there's ricky russell can ricky russell get around ashburn we take a look from the yamaha racing sky cam and the race is on ricky russell fights to get around him not quite yet different line choices and ricky russell able to edge out jordan ashburn and take position look at that look at him go man making short work of the lappers getting around them and that has got to be exciting if you're a ricky russell fan it's got to be frustrating for those rooting for jordan ashburn right now how about that though that right there is what gncc racing is all about meanwhile caleb russell pushing that lead to nearly a minute out now and boy battle clearly still on between ashburn and ricky russell for second what an incredible race this has been caleb right there on screen nobody but lappers no one in the rearview mirror ricky russell's got jordan ashburn in his rearview mirror right now those guys duking it out for that number two spot what what's some exciting racing action right there impressive stuff and uh these guys rolling ricky russell in that number two spot now jordan ashburn in the number three position and no signs of fourth place yet caleb making good work like i said these guys seem to make it look easy at times and how about that no one behind him there's ricky russell right there in the number two spot looks to be a bit of a gap now opening up between ricky russell and jordan ashburn as they come out of the uh the swamp section here in the sands of florida and we wait for the fourth place rider who is it gonna be we know stu had the issues josh strang how about that after the rough start for josh strang last into the woods now moves up into the number four spot and uh boy if he can track down jordan ashburn we may have us a little teammate battle here between the babbitts online monster energy kawasaki riders of strang and ashburn ricky russell back on screen right there what an impressive ride it's been for ricky russell so far him and strength both podium finishes in round number one looks like they won a little more of that action here in round number two caleb writing like he knows he's in control of this one and uh how about it that is impressive ricky russell moving through right there in that number two spot and we jump into the yamaha sky cam right here ricky russell now looking like caleb early on obviously in the number two position but uh boy the gap that he's opened up you gotta wonder if ashburn has fallen off the pace a little bit here [Music] will that open the door for josh string [Music] as ricky russell exits the woods section back out onto the track and we keep our eyes on that yamaha yamaha racing sky cam here looking for jordan ashburn to pop out or is it going to be strength that is ashburn so ashburn's still in the number three spot oh and oh he goes down ashburn is down quickly gets back to the bike is it gonna be enough time i don't think so that is bad news for jordan ashburn but opens up the door for josh strang now who should be in that number three spot here that may have been string that passed some boy i can't tell we'll know in just a second caleb russell out in front still man what an impressive start to this 2020 season caleb russell's had the farewell tour has been like no other ricky russell in the number two spot i gotta say that coastal racing husqvarna seems to be a great fit for ricky russell who's going to be in third i'm thinking that was string that got around him and there he is josh string in the number three spot now after the rough start for him he's now in that third and final podium position absolutely impressive stuff caleb right here riding like he knows he's in control of this one takes a sip of water works his way through and we should see ricky russell coming through here next we'll see if maybe string has closed the gap a little bit and he has look at that different line choices for the two riders uh ricky russell hard on the throttle string right behind him more gncc racing action coming up after [Music] this [Music] coverage of the 2020 grand national cross country series on mav tv is brought to you in part by specialized turbo e-bikes it's you only faster rocky mountain atvmc get ready and by yamaha revs your heart well caleb russell still out in front in this one doing his caleb russell thing if you will what an impressive start to this 2020 season for him josh strang moves into the number two spot now and has actually been able to put a little bit of distance between him and third place rider on screen there ricky russell but boy i gotta say my hat is off to both of these riders as they have just had an impressive impressive race so far today caleb russell works his way around a couple lappers and um there's josh strang right there doing the same so as we get down to the nitty gritty and this one looks like we've got some pretty good distance between each of our top three fred andrews there giving josh string the pit board probably says don't stop now throttle down you got a guy behind you it's ricky russell maybe a couple lappers right there and there ricky russell pops on screen the number two one two how about that the handguard flopping on the right hand side there no big deal ricky don't mind caleb doesn't mind one turn to go and he will take the checkered flag back-to-back wins to start the farewell tour how about it caleb russell with a win here at the moose racing wild boar wow what an impressive start to the 2020 season for caleb russell the things he has done on a motorcycle throughout his career and here today absolutely impressive string now one turn for him and he will check in officially with the number two spot on the day congratulations what a ride after a rough start gets the good job from cameron his wife there at the finish line in some much needed water and now ricky russell one more turn for him and he will take the number three spot what a ride out of him today as well seems to really really do well on that husqvarna down to caleb russell with the specialized post race interview yeah it was a tough day got a great start fortunately and um just kind of did my own thing just tried to do the same thing that i did a big buck just ride really good just ride smooth and patient not make any mistakes and um yeah i just kept that pretty steady pace there the first three four laps and really throughout the whole thing but um yeah i was able to get that buffer and just kind of bide my time and ride mistake free laps and you know it's easy to do that when you're not under pressure you can kind of do your own thing and pick your lines and get around the lappers a little bit stress-free so it was a good day brutal course it wasn't as bad as it has been in years past i don't know why but i don't know why that is but it just seemed a little bit easier this year than normally but uh still nonetheless my hands are killing me man they're they're smoked so i'm gonna be feeling it tomorrow well the hands may hurt but they gotta hurt a little less knowing you're walking away with a win no doubt about it a look here at the top ten from today how about that some great riding uh welcome to the 998 of todd kellett by the way finishing six that's impressive we're gonna go down to josh string now yeah it was uh difficult the uh the track was man it was uh just from the first lap you know the morning race uh just the slower guys in this this stand i think they call it sugar sand and that's exactly what it is they just whenever you roll the bomb said that bumps just get bigger and bigger and the sand's so loose it's so hard to keep on top of them you might keep on top of three and then you'll fall in to fall into a couple and it's just gnarly so uh i didn't do myself any favors got a bad start and then it was difficult to pass there and some of the guys had some creative lines there the first lap and um i mean i rode the course pre-rolled the course twice and i didn't i didn't see him but anyway it was a good day overall well it certainly was a good day josh no doubt about that i have to agree with you taking a look now at the specialized race recap early on caleb russell taking the whole shot and honestly never looked back from there an absolute dominating performance here at round number two the moose racing wild boar gncc and some great rides out of a whole slew of other guys but today's race not without a little bit of heartbreak it was a tough day if you were one of the baylor brothers grant able to make a salvage his day and boy some great racing action there as well as we can look in on those passes so thankful to have that yamaha racing skycam how about it pretty impressive stuff tough break for jordan ashburn was riding great throughout the day went down right there and that proved to be the difference maker for him real tough break we gotta think that before this season's up we're gonna see jordan ashburn get this thing together and i gotta expect him on some podiums ricky russell on screen there great right out of him but like we said at the end of the day it was back-to-back wins for this guy right here caleb russell what a race congratulations as well to johnny g on his win in the xc2 today well on behalf of gncc and racer tv i'm mikey waynes we'll see you at the races [Music] you
