ADAM CIANCIARULO

riders like McElrath, Hampshire, and Hayes behind, Cianciarulo’s efforts would
be too tough to match by the competition. The way he was attacking every
rut, bump, and mogul on this track would be incredible to see, as his lanky frame would merely scrub the machine to slow down, rather than dragging
any sort of braking mechanism.
His laptimes would hover near the lowest of the day, having no outliers for the duration of this quest. Pushing strong until
the final flag, his whip over the finish line would be a sight that would become all too familiar to the competition, shortly thereafter. Cianciarulo would then storm out to an early lead to begin the main event, as you could truly see he and the bike were on the same page. With a wave of competition behind, the Kawasaki pilot would blitz every portion of the track with one hundred percent effort. Weighting the outside peg when necessary, his portrayal of smoothness and precise movement was similar to that of Jeremy McGrath, or even Kevin Windham. The work that he’d done throughout his off-season training was beginning to come to light, as he truly would ride a mistake free main event. Stretching out his lead to over ten seconds at one point, Cianciarulo would unquestionably be in a league of his own as he launched the finish line. With flames erupting all around, Adam would be absolutely ecstatic upon landing from his final descend. Victory was his, and was most definitely well deserved.
