Jill Kintner repeated her 2015 performance and wins the 2016 race

Aaron Gwin and Jill Kintner win the 2016 Mountain Creek Spring Classic (Pro GRT#2).

The Spring Classic at Mountain Creek rarely disappoints with the talent that shows up and this year was no different.  Jill Kintner and Aaron Gwin took the top spots in their respective categories.  There was plenty of carnage after all of the dust settled this weekend including Neko’s arm. Richie Rude Jr didn’t race on Sunday but did put in a few laps on Saturday.

Jill Kintner has a write up on her blog and the bike exchange has a story as well about the race.
