Factory Connection / FXR / MotorBikes Plus pilot Chris Canning lead every lap of the PRO Class at Round 13 of the FOX Racing J DAY Off Road Championship in Templeton Massachusetts and left with an 8 point deficit in the title chase that he cut in half from Round 12. In a season that has seen 6 different overall winners in the PRO Class, the most ever in my memory, Canning has won five rounds besting his three other main contenders for the crown. The fight for the title got even tighter with 12 points separating the top four riders and reigning Champ Simon Johnson on his Plaistow Power Sports / Moose / Factory Connection Yamaha leading the way. Canning sits 8 back in second, Brandon Gregoire on the FXR / FACTORY CONNECTION / LBR Racing Yamaha is 3rd in the points tally just 10 points back and Gavin Simon on the Edelmans Husqvarna sits in fourth 12 points behind fellow Vermonster Johnson. With only two rounds to go it will go down to the finale in Southwick on October 29th. Joining Canning on the podium today was Brandon Gregoire in second and Simon Johnson in third. Rounding out the top five were Brayden Nolette on the V3 Kawasaki and Cody Williams on the Bullit Racing / FOX / Factory Connection / MBP KTM. Gavin Simon came home 6th overall while Taylor Beckwith was 7th. Robby Marshall rolled off the couch and took the new Stark Varg electric motorcycle to 8th overall and even ran second to Canning for two laps in the second go round and Yamaha pilots Anthony Federico and Nick Kordana rounded out the top ten today.
