Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart at Redbud
I watched the latest AMA Motocross race this weekend, and as expected, it was a a great battle between the two rivals of Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart. Ricky Carmichael is still proving he's a dominant force in Motocross racing while James Stewart is fighting to take over the reigns. The great thing is these two keep fighting to prove they're the best in the sport. They keep pushing as hard as they can. This is what makes great champions. It also will cause mistakes as each rider continues to ride on the absolute edge. This is what happened to Stewart as they neared the end of race #2, letting a hounding Carmichael pass for the win. I'm really going to miss this kind of racing when Carmichael retires. Without him, Stewart will continue to win easily. Hopefully someone else, like Villopoto, will step up when they hit the big class to at least provide us fans with some interesting racing to watch. Run away races are never fun to watch.
