the VOR 400 and 503 MX bikes… David Vuillemin took his first
Supercross win in the U.S. when he put a halt to Jeremy McGrath's

that Jimmy Button suffered a career-ending injury during practice…
Alan Cathcart climbed aboard Alex Criville's Repsol Honda
NSR500... Paul Edmondson won the Tecate Hare Scrambles.
