GNCC Round 11: Raley Messer On the BOX in his first ever XC3 race.
Round 11 of the GNCC series saw some incredible performances, none more tenacious than Trevor Bollinger’s. Despite facing a painful bursa sac injury, the Star Rockstar Energy Factory Husqvarna rider soldiered through the grueling event, finishing 11th overall in the highly competitive XC1 class. With Viral Optics providing clear vision and protection through the toughest conditions, Trevor held onto valuable points and now sits 10th overall in the series with just one round left.

In the XC2 class, brothers Johnathan and Brody Johnson, both on their Factory Beta Liquid Moly 300s, fought fiercely, finishing 6th and 7th overall, respectively. These two riders have been pushing each other all season long, and with Viral Goggles giving them the edge in clarity and durability, they are consistently finishing at the front of the pack.
The standout performance of the weekend came from rising star Raley Messer, who stepped up from the 150A class to compete in the XC3 Pro class for the first time. In his debut, Raley secured an impressive 3rd place podium finish. Having recently clinched the championship in the 150A class, Raley is proving that he belongs among the pros. With his Viral Optics providing clear, uninterrupted vision on the tough GNCC courses, there’s no limit to what he can achieve next season.
