San Diego Supercross, 2001: Ricky Carmichael arrives with win, 2, 48
A classic, and the night in SX history where 7time champion, Jeremy McGrath realized he had a serious challenge on his hands. For the first 10 laps, MC and RC went at each other hard, but cleanly. Carmichael took advantage of a McGrath mistake on lap 10 and was never challenged again. The pace was torrid, with both riders pushing themselves to the utmost and violently attacking every obstacle, wrote Cycle News. And, yes, the ESPN coverage really did cut to Mike LaRocco as RC crossed the finish line Now I believe I know what it takes to win a Supercross and Ill keep trying to do it, said Carmichael, who left San Diego tied with McGrath in the points.
