The new Racer X Power Rankings are out, and we have some big changes. First, our panel of pollsters felt that
Ricky Carmichael's efforts in his return race at Atlanta were worthy of moving him back ahead of
Chad Reed, who finished a distant third in the Georgia Dome behind #1-ranked
James Stewart and Carmichael.

Also, the East Region guys are in the mix now, and Makita Suzuki's
Ryan Dungey debuts at #10 after his strong win. That makes him the third-ranked Lites rider of all, as
Ryan Villopoto holds on to fourth while
Jason Lawrence sits in eighth. Also, Darcy Lange comes in at #15 after his own strong ride. The biggest surprise may be Ben Townley, who looked like he had a great chance of winning in his U.S. Supercross debut before his motor let go halfway through the main. Even though he was almost last in the results, "BT101" is #19 in our weekly rankings. Here's the whole rankings, as well as a list of all the folks who voted this week.
