eam Honda is back. And you
.
might say in a big way.
weeping the top four positions at
the AMA U.s. Supercross Series opener
in Anaheim, Team Honda has made it
clear that they're serious about taking
back the supercross crown - something
they haven't worn since Jeremy
McGrath abandoned the team following
the 1996 season. Since then, Honda ha
hardly been heard from, having been
shut out in 1997 and winning just four
events in 1998; but apparently that's all
about to change.
