Goodman earned himself the Micro Bike National Championship after earning seven class wins and five micro overall wins throughout the season. This year he will be competing in the 65cc (7-9) class as well and hopes to reel in that championship.

Tayla will be with Husqvarna again this year, racing both the GNCC and Sprint Enduro series, as well as representing Team Australia at the ISDE.

Keep an eye out for Davis, we expect great things out of her!

After retiring from professional racing, he found a new passion in bicycle racing. When GNCC started an eMTB racing series, it was a perfect fit. The 33-year old Mullins is the first-ever Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC National Champion, as well as earning accolades in several other bicycle disciplines.

Tuesday Toolbox: Ashley HendershotJanuary 7, 2020Ashley Hendershot won the first-ever Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC Women’s National Championship in 2019 and is looking forward to another season of eMTB racing – hopefully with a little more competition this time! Though the 31-year old from Mansfield, Ohio, was definitely a bicycle enthusiast before last year, she had very little racing experience and had actually never ridden an eBike prior to her first GNCC. Her husband is an ATV racer, who also won a title last year in the Vet B class and her son races mountain bikes… so you could say that racing of all kinds is very much a family activity for the Hendershots.
