Round 10
March 16, 2002
Louisiana SuperDome
New Orleans LOUISIANA


Ricky Carmichael & Chad Reed continue to dominate ....



250 Main Event: The holeshot went to Tim Ferry on his big-bore Yamaha.
At the end of the first lap, Tim was leading, with Nate Ramsey second,
and Ricky Carmichael third. Nate fell, so it was Ferry, RC, and then
David Vuillemin. Then Ferry fell, so it was RC, Vuillemin, and then
Stephane Roncada.

Stephane passed David, so it was RC, Stephane, and then David. David
showed a great deal of courage by racing this weekend, as he's still
riding with a sore shoulder suffered almost two weeks ago. After the race
was over, David stopped in front of the starting gate, took off his
jersey, and immediately had ice put on. He looked to be in a lot of pain.

The top three guys held their positions until the end: Ricky wins,
Stephane second, and David third. Jeremy McGrath took home fourth position.

RC now leads Vuillemin by 10 in the points chase, 209 - 199.


125 East Main Event: Kelly Smith had the holeshot. But Chad Reed was
leading by the end of lap one. He was followed by Steve Boniface and
Branden Jesseman. Grant Langston was back in the pack.

Chad Reed was running out front. But then a few laps into the race,
Grant Langston passes Chad. Now it's Langston leading, with Chad second.
Was it smart riding by Chad to maybe let Grant go past? Chad doesn't
need to battle with anyone, or even win races to secure the championship
at this point in the season.

Both Grant and Chad were going really fast, and they left the rest of
the field behind. But with a couple laps left, Grant had a problem while
lapping Barry Carsten. Grant had to hesitate a bit, and Chad went by
him on the inside.

Chad went on to win, with Grant second, and Larry Ward third. It's
Chad's fifth win in a row.


NOTES: Suzuki did not have any factory riders in the 250 class. Travis
Pastrana did not race because he is getting tested by doctors to find
out why he's been feeling weak and sick with flu-like symptoms. And
Kevin Windham did not race due to a broken leg suffered a few weeks ago.
Sebastien Tortelli also did not compete. He fell in practice, bruised his
back, and decided not race. He should be back next weekend for Houston.
