Billy Uhl was pictured on the cover of Cycle News 50 years ago. We
chatted with the o-road star about all things ISDT, including why he
wasn't selected to the American ISDT team, the politics that often
surround selecting the U.S. team, and his o-road racing background.
We covered the Swedish Grand Prix, which saw Barry Sheene and
Giacomo Agostini go down two laps into the race, shaking up the
championship. We tested the latest CZ 400 motocrosser, saying it
might "be the definitive privateer's motocrosser."
