Yamaha’s Tim Ferry rode to consistent 2/2 finishes and the overall victory at the opening round of the AMA 250 Outdoor National Motocross championship in San Bernardino, California. Honda’s Sebastien Tortelli (1/5) and Suzuki’s Kevin Windham (3/3) rounded out the podium.
Kawasaki’s Ricky Carmichael crashed on the first lap, and had to work his way up from virtually last place to finish 8th in moto number one. Carmichael won the second moto, but had to settle for fourth overall on the day.
The most impressive rider at the opening round of the AMA Nationals was Grant Langston (KTM) in the 125 class. Langston handily won both motos over Mike Brown (Kawasaki). Suzuki’s Travis Pastrana took third overall with 3/4 finishes.
