Cloudy skies kept the temperatures cool at CCCX DH #6 in scenic Salinas, CA. The series is beginning to wrap up with only two races left, nerves are tense as point chases start to tighten up. Pro class leader and Point One racer Ian Massey had a slight bobble that gave him a third place finish. Ian has been testing our new products and is quite impressed by them, thank you for your support!
Point One president Jimmy Amaral is currently battling Ian for the overall lead, this past weekend Jimmy secured valuable points by laying down fast time giving him 1st place. This win was a sigh of relief that Point One products are second to none.
Style check for Alex Amaral and Chris Lauber. Both are a serious threat in the junior expert class and both had an impressive finish, 3rd and 6th place respectively.
Scott Seery has been in first place in the Expert 45-54 class, this past weekend he won by a convincing 10 seconds. Scott has also been crucial in testing new Point One products, we thank him for his support.
On April 6th, Mike Amaral had a horrific training ride crash just across the street from where this race was held. After an overnight stay in the local hospital, it was determined that Mike bruised his collarbone, fractured his wrist and broke several bones in his lower back. His prognosis wasn't good, it would be a long hard road for Mike to fully recover. Miraculously he was able to heal quickly and start walking again shortly after the crash. Surprised by doctors, it did not take long for Mike to climb back on the bike and start riding again. This is truly an inspiring story, Mike raced again for the first time since the crash and managed a podium spot in the Expert 45-54 class! Way to go! We are all excited to see his presence back at the races!
Special thanks to Rick Rasmussen for the photos. We will see you all back next month for the final two rounds!
