We're just three days away from the 2007 FIM Red Bull
Motocross of Nations, which means Team USA's Ricky
Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto and Tim Ferry will carry the
red, white and blue around the Budds Creek racetrack as
the rest of the world chases after them! All three riders
have represented Team USA before, with Villopoto's
team record 1-0 (2006 at England) and Ferry 0-1 (2003
Belgium). The big surprise is Carmichael's record, a very
uncharacteristic 2-3 in five rides (England, Brazil, France,
France and England).
So who has the best record as a Team USA rider at the
MXoN? That's the question we put to our experts for this
weekend's Bench Racing Ammo. We went back to 1981
- the first year Team USA won – and we did not include
the now-extinct Trophee des Nations. Here's the team
records of all our boys, over the last 25 years. click on
