Exhaust #168: Never Expected to Be Here (w/ GNCC champ Ben Kelley)
About this episode
Jason Weigandt talks to new Grand National Cross Country Champion Ben Kelley about his humble roots in New England—where no one expected to make a living racing off-road—to the dramatic 2021 final round, where his bike drowned out. Then some of his buddies from New England, who are also factory riders now, came to his rescue.
