Honda Red Bull Racing’s Kevin Windham
is already well-respected and adored among motocross fans for the many
years of his impressive career and the Steel City crowd was more than
happy to remind him of that after his overall win last weekend. We have
covered Kevin for most of his professional career and couldn’t be more
proud of the capable veteran. We’ll see what his latest plans are after
the outdoors season concludes next weekend.
Troy Lee Designs Honda’s Ben Townley
has had an eventful return to racing this summer. Flashes of brilliance
mixed with some bad luck and decisions have the Kiwi wondering what
could have been. But with all things considered, and the length of time
away from racing, he can certainly take away some positive things and
move forward. BT always makes for a fun interview and we’ll see how
many questions we can get in before he hangs up on us.
Fewer people have been around longer or contributed as much to the sport as KTM’s Selvaraj "Sel" Narayana.
Sel is a respected peer and has held just about every job in the
industry throughout his forty plus years around dirt bikes. He is
currently KTM’s Director of Logistics and Operations in India, Sales
Manager in Asia, along with being responsible for new business
development and projects. He has been recognized many times for his
work in the sport, including the prestigious Vintage Iron Lifetime
Achievement Award, which was presented to him by his good friend, Roger
DeCoster. Sel has known Roger since 1969 when he worked for Maico and
could not be more pleased to be working with him in the near future. We
have a lot to cover with Sel tonight and look forward to catching up
with him before the globetrotter takes a jet somewhere else cool.
I first heard about Ricky James
from David Bailey. He told me to keep an eye on this fast kid coming up
through the ranks. It turns out that Ricky’s impressive speed on a bike
isn’t, and never was, his best quality. He continues to be a source of
inspiration after his spinal injury to many people and doesn’t know
what it’s like to settle or give up. He has conquered the Ironman,
competed in the X Games, and raced badass trucks since his injury. He
will be competing in the Cross Over Challenge at Pala this weekend so
we wanted to catch up with him tonight. Also, check out his site with a
cool new t-shirt line appropriately named at www.Perseverance824.com to get yours now!
