Jacques-Maynes commented, ¿I'm excited that I was able to get that first NRC win for Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada. I feel good about my chances for the overall win, but we have so many strong riders who finished within striking distance that it's not a given for the team to put all its support behind me.î

Kodak Gallery/Sierra Nevada Racing Manager, Robin Zellner added, ¿We're really gelling as a team right now and hopefully we can get the job done over the next three days.î
