Continued from poge 19
press conference if there was any chance
of him going back to his two-stroke,
Chad Reed replied: "No, there is no way.
My bike is good. I'm really happy with the
way things are going on it. The power is
unbelievable, and it is quite unbelievable
how good I can turn it. So we will stay on
the four-stroke."
Chad Reed also revealed during the
press conference that he built a duplicate
of the Toronto Supercross track in his
back yard.
Red Bull KTM was without the services of
Mike and Jeff Alessi in Toronto. The
brothers decided to skip the Canadian
rounds of the World Supercross Series to
instead participate in the Cardiff Supercross in England. The KTM team was represented by Josh Hansen and Nathan
Ramsey.
KTM-mounted Marco Dube of Quebec
was the only rider representing Canada in
the Supercross class at the Toronto
round. Canadian MX legend Darcy
Lange is scheduled to make his first
appearance of the series at the Vancouver
round.
Team Yamaha's Heath Voss returned to
action after sitting out most of the out-
door National Series with the EB virus.
But things didn't go too well for him in
the main event; on the first lap, he collided with another rider, knocking a hole in
his radiator. Voss circulated the track for
another lap before pulling into the pits.
Chad Reed was sporting a new hair
color in Toronto. The normally blackheaded Aussie showed up on Thursday as
a blond.
The Moto XXX team announced its new
roster for the 2006 season. The team will
be made up of returning rider Kyle Lewis
and two newcomers, Juss Laansoo and
Josh Sumney. Lewis and Laansoo will
compete in the World/AMA Supercross
and AMA Motocross Series, while Sumney will compete in the World/AMA
Supercross Lites and AMA Motocross
Lites Series.
