The 2007 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship presented by FMF
promises to be one of the most memorable in series history.
This will perhaps be the final opportunity for fans to see Ricky
Carmichael, the all-time wins leader in AMA Motocross, race his
Makita Suzuki in AMA Motocross. This season also provides
Monster Energy Kawasaki’s recently crowned Amp’d Mobile AMA
Supercross champ James Stewart with his next big challenge.
Can he beat Carmichael in RC’s element? And can No. 7 emerge
a stronger rider after suffering a difficult campaign in AMA
Motocross last year? While the final chapter on the Carmichael-
Stewart rivalry will be the headline story for much
of the season, AMA Motocross Lites promises to provide plenty
of storylines on its own. Young Ryan Villopoto emerged as
perhaps the top up-and-coming rider after winning the Motocross
Lites title last year, but this season he’ll face an even tougher
challenge in the form of his own Monster Energy/Pro Circuit
Kawasaki teammate and former world champion Ben Townley,
of New Zealand. The sizzling summer kicks off on May 20 at the
39th Annual Hangtown Motocross Classic near Sacramento, then
embarks on a whirlwind tour of ten states in just under four
months, ending back in California for the finale on Sept. 9, at
Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino. ozzy go to the full story
