CARMICHAEL 2ND AT SACRAMENTO
 Reigning
AMA Motocross Champion Ricky Carmichael recovered from a first
lap crash to claim second overall at the opening round of
the 2006 series at Sacramento, California on Sunday.
After taking the holeshot, the Makita Suzuki rider lost the
front end of his RM-Z450 a couple of turns into the opening
30-minute moto, but carved through the pack to take third
place behind race winner James Stewart (Kawasaki) and Chad
Reed (Yamaha).
In the second race, Carmichael took the holeshot again and
this time was never headed, opening up a big lead over runner-up
Stewart.
