Paul Whibley Wins Moonshine Cross-Country
Paul Whibley is off to a terrific start this season, winning two of
three races in the Grand National Cross Country series and now
racking up a win in the Off-Road Motorcycle/ATV Championship (OMA)
as well.
According to Cycle News, Whibley turned in a dominating performance
at the recent race, grabbing the holeshot and never looking back
throughout the day. Whibley got far out in front and ultimately
went wire-to-wire, with no other rider really challenging him.
The defending OMA champion tore up the Moonshine Cross-Country
track in Dawson Spring, Kentucky, and reminded fans why he's one of
the best off-road riders in the world.
"I felt fairly comfortable, fairly loose, so I thought I'd just set
my own pace," Whibley told the news source. "I managed to inch away
a little bit. Once we got that gap, it was a pretty clean run."
Nick Fahringer finished second, while Russell Bobbitt got on the
podium in third. These two riders provided much of the excitement
for the day as they battled for second place, but in the end
Fahringer was able to pull away.
