Tuesday Conversation: Tim Ferry
September 25, 2007
Tim Ferry put in two amazing rides at the MXoN that
helped put Team USA on top and his Open class win
completed a total USA sweep of the results. Ferry won
his qualifying race on Saturday without much trouble,
and seemed the favorite in the Open class going into
Sunday.
Success did not seem likely just after the start of his
first moto when he ended up the ground and he faced
the same challenge Carmichael faced the moto before-
a charge from the back to keep Team USA’s hopes alive.
He charged the whole moto and made it to fourth. In his
second moto he battled with FIM World MX1 Champion
Steve Ramon of Belgium, and he waited for him to get
tired and got past.
2007 was Ferry’s second time on Team USA. The first
was 2003 when he, Ryan Hughes and RC went to
Zolder, Belgium. He hurt his thumb that weekend and
the U.S. lost to Belgium. This time Ferry was part of
one of the greatest U.S. wins at this historic race. click
