Sandell smokes GreeleySX By Larry Johnson GREELEY, CO, MAY 9 Kip Sandell gave his challengers a lesson on how to ride whoops at the. season's first supercross. His talents earned him both the 250cc and Open Pro class victories. While the others would try their best to ride through the whoops, Sandell would jump in as far as possible, then skip across the top of the rest. Sandell gave the large crowd an indication of what to expect in his 250cc qualifier. After taking the holeshot, he went down and ended up in last, but Sandell roared back to third at the checkers. In the main, Sandell gated fourth behind Stacey Cook, Tim BuchJi and Dave Newell. In his first trip through the whoops, Sandell shot to second, then took the lead from Coo.k the next time through. CooK stayed close for two laps, then Sandell pulled away. Meanwhile, Cook and Coref Cope got into a battle for second. On lap six Cook came out of the whoops, blasted off the high berm that followed and squared off for the pyramid jump. Cope tried to cut underneath and caught Cook's swingarm. Both riders went .down, Cope remounted in third behind Buchli, and Cook got up slowly with an injured leg. Cope was able to get around BuchJi for second, while Cool< limped home 21st. Newell led round one of the Open Pros from start-to-finish. Sandell, after a bad start, was able to close in on Ne.welJ late in the race after lapped riders slowed Newell. Newell gated ahead of Sandell in moto two, and Sandell tried three .times to scoot past in the whoops, but Newell shut him off each time in the following turn. Newell got out of shape in the last turn on the nextto-Iasllap, and Sandell went around the outside arrd took the lead for good. Before Cook was hurt in the 250cc main, ·he won the 125cc Pro main, but it took eight laps before Cook could find a way around Jimmy Anderson for the win. In the 80cc Experts, Scott Fulcher won both motos. Fulcher overtook Andy Atkins early in moto one and cruised in for the win. The twosome tangled in round two, with Fulcher prevailing and Atkins being knocked to last place, unable to recover. Results 60 NOV: 1. Lane Swink (Kaw); 2. Chrris Williams
