“Leaving us for 2010 will be Ben Kearney who is moving over to the USA to race with his brother Glenn Kearney in the GNCC. It’s been awesome having Ben on our team, and we wish him all the best in his American journey.” He rode for KTM in Oz,, for GNCC?? Anyone?
He hasn't raced gncc before. 2010 will be his first year in the states. Don't know who he was racing for in Oz.
I just re-read Offroad Champions and it now says that Brother Ben is going to be Mechanic for Glenn and race AM GNCC's....
Yeah, Ben is your classic "too cool for school" yet quietly spoken Aussie off-road talent. He finally won his elusive E1 title in 09 and was regularly posting top outright times here in Australia (among Merriman and Hollis). He's avoiding getting roped in to a deal for GNCC at this stage cause he wants to test the water, help Glenn and basically get a feel for America at his own pace. He will definitely do some racing on one of GK's bikes, so don't be surprised if you see some rogue Aussie at the front of the pack. You can see Ben on the gas in this flick - Part two of GK's interview ... brotherly love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f6-A9Eaelo Cheers AR
From that video, it seems Glenn may be kinda burned out. He done a lot of training & breaks his leg before the 1st race in Florida & the Husky keeps having problems.[Like 90% of the races?] I would like to know what kind of problems he had. Man, the year before with Scott involved the bikes did great! Coincidence? With his brother coming over & a little luck [or lack of bad luck] I bet he does a lot better. He already said Husky has stepped up the program. I think he will be motivated again. It's going to be a fun year!
