Three legends that made motocross what it is for me. World Champions Roger De Coster, Brad Lackey and Joel Robert. Motocross had huge crowds in Europe but not so much in the USA until the Motocross TRANS-AMA challenge introduced the sport at the highest levels to America.
It has never looked back. The 2023 The Motocross des Nations one of the truly great motorsports events was held at RedBud motocross track in Buchanan, Michigan. 60,000 fans got to watch team USA win-at home-after an 11-year drought. What could rival that! Supercross regularly sells out stadiums through America and that just would not happen without the efforts of these champions to show what motocross at the highest levels is all about. Do you think their contribution worthy?
