When th e Vets blasted out of the gate for their first round of actio n, Ned Joy aboard a red-h o t Maico commandeered the lead. He was out to win this one for " Bugs." As the Vets started to spread out, Joy found himself back in fourth with " T oo Tall " T im taking over the reins for th e Intermediates.
