Years Ago
JANUARY 26, 2000
We went to Valencia to ride the latest YZF-R1 from Yamaha, and it
was pictured in action on the front page of Cycle News 20 years
ago… For the second week in a row, Edison Field (aka Anaheim
Stadium) hosted round two of the AMA/EA Sports Supercross
Series, where Jeremy McGrath, once again, took the win, this time
13 seconds ahead of runner-up David Vuillemin. Tallon Vohland won
the 125cc class, it was his first Supercross win in eight years… We
featured an interview with Troy Bayliss.
