Four riders, one title. That‰Ûªs what it all boils down to as the 2007 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship presented by FMF comes to a conclusion at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, Calif., Sunday, Sept. 9.
Excitement will be at a fever pitch at the 12th Annual Giant RV AMA Motocross Nationals at Glen Helen. Four different riders on four different brands of motorcycles are in the hunt to win the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship. Yamaha‰Ûªs Grant Langston leads the way coming into the hilly Glen Helen Raceway, but he is closely followed by Honda‰Ûªs Andrew Short, Monster Energy Kawasaki‰Ûªs Tim Ferry and Mike Alessi of Red Bull KTM.
Only 15 points separate the top four riders in the Motocross championship battle. This makes the 2007 edition of the series one of the closest in the history of AMA Motocross. All four riders are vying for the first AMA Motocross title in the post-Ricky Carmichael era. Langston is a former AMA Motocross Lites (then called AMA 125 Motocross) Champion.
Langston is thrilled with the unexpected turn of events that led to him being the series leader going into the final round.
