The battle for motocross supremacy rages on as we head into the final round of the 2007 AMA Toyota Motocross Championship presented by FMF. In this week’s Racer X/Toyota Power Rankings, Lites points leader Ryan Villopoto still maintains the number one spot over AMA Motocross leader Grant Langston, with seven first-place votes to GL’s four. Maintaining third place is RV’s teammate, Ben Townley, who lost even more ground in his Lites championship quest this past weekend in Texas.
|
Beyond that, Yamaha’s Broc Hepler improved four positions to number 9 after another solid performance in Texas, and Freestone’s AMA Motocross first moto winner Andrew Short improved one spot to sixth. Out of the rookies, Austin Stroupe leads the pack in 14th, followed by Canard in 15th and Izzi in 18th. New to the poll this week is Josh Hill, Broc Tickle and New Zealand’s Cody Cooper, who comes in 25th.
