Scott Russell är en hejare även på motard!

Saxat från amasuperbike.com:

The first round of the SuperMoto USA triple crown kicked off yesterday, Sunday, April 27th, at Vallejo, CA.

The grid had many Supermoto USA regulars, such as Matt Wait and Doug Chandler, but was also graced with Mr. Daytona himself, former world champion Scott Russell.

Russell was riding a KTM and ran strongly in both Open Extreme races.

In the first race, he just missed the podium, finishing fourth, but in the second race, he ran very strongly to finish second to motocross legend Jeff Ward (3x). Russell finished well ahead of the rest of the Supermotard regulars, including Chander, Wait and Casey Yarrow.

Russell was wearing a big smile during the podium ceremony, and seemed truly happy to be competing again. From his performance at Vallejo, one would never guess the extent of the very serious and debilitating injuries he suffered at his last race

kul med honom tillbaka, men va det inte tänkt att han skulle åkt AMA på en ducce?

Det var väl ifjol det innan han kraschade på Daytona, på just en Ducce. Det enda jag läst hittils inför denna säsongen var att han skulle köra lite SM.

hittade det jag mindes, på AMA:
HMC Continues Sponsor Search

Sources close to the scene say that Mitch Hansen and five time Daytona 200 winner Scott Russell are continuing to search for a sponsor for the 2003 season. As with most things in racing, after they land a sponsor--and they are talking to quite a few--then the rest of the program will fall in place quickly.

Russell tested the HMC Ducati in Europe last fall and has said he intends to come out of retirement if HMC gets team level sponsorship.

så det sket sig tydligen med stålar, som så ofta
