The Victory V92SC SportCruiser was pictured on the cover 20 years
ago to accompany our test written by Alan Cathcart... At the MXGP
opener in Spain, Ryan Hughes was denied permission to start the
first moto after his bike arrived 20 seconds late to parc ferme, due to
being slowed by the heavy crowd, 10 minutes before the start of the
race. Hughes won the second moto... Australian Garry McCoy won
the 500cc GP opener in South Africa... Jeremy McGrath won the St.
Louis Supercross.
