Team Green Loretta's Tuesday Report
August 1, 2012, 9:20am
Irvine, Calif. – Day one of the 2012 Loretta Lynn’s AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships is a wrap from Hurricane Mills, Tenn., and Kawasaki riders littered the podium all day long. Kawasaki Team Green riders earned a total of 18 podiums including three wins. Team Green’s early success sets the stage for Kawasaki riders to add their names to the long list of championships by the end of competition Saturday. Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Adam Cianciarulo and Garrett Marchbanks both took the first moto wins in Supermini 1 and 85 9-11 Stock, respectively. Team Green rider Gary Semics also took a first moto win in the Master 50+ class aboard his KX™450F.

Starting Off on the Right Foot
One of the standout rides of the day came from Team Green’s Marchbanks. One of the few to have completed two motos in the first day, he rode his KX™85 flawlessly to score two podium finishes. Marchbanks started the day with a strong second-place finish in the 85 9-11 Mod class after leading a good portion of the race. He was fired up after that moto and came out swinging in the 85 9-11 Stock class. Another battle ensued for the lead, but this time Marchbanks came out on top with the moto win. With each class being a three-moto format, he is in good position to end the week on top of the podium.
“Garrett had a great day today and I was really happy with how he rode,” said Team Supervisor Ryan Holliday. “He had great starts and was aggressive all moto long which is what it takes to win championships here at Loretta’s.”
