8 7 Looking Back
ON THE COVER
Associate editor Blake Conner wheelies Yamaha's
new FZl sportbike on a Spanish road. The Rl's sibling leaves little to be desired. And Team Chevy
Trucks Kawasaki's Ricky Carmichael raced to his
fourth consecutive 250cc Supercross victory in
Atlanta, Georgia. Unfortunately for him, though,
McGrath finished second again, and RC now leads
the series by a scant nine points. Photos by David
Dewhurst and Steve Bruhn.
