Photos by GuyB.&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s all the latest from last weekend in Las Vegas. Dig in&amp;#8230;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Just when we were looking forward to starting the outdoor season with a round   of recently healed riders, there&amp;#8217;s been a whole new crop of injuries. &lt;b&gt;James   Stewart&lt;\\/b&gt; will undergo surgery this coming Tuesday to repair a broken collarbone   Stewart had a spectacular crash during the 125 main on Saturday that knocked   him out and broke his collarbone in two places. (Look for an interview with   James near the bottom of this page).&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 1]&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; As much as we can appreciate Bubba giving props to &lt;strong&gt;Tony Haines&lt;\\/strong&gt;   (who was in Las Vegas to spectate) by running Tony&amp;#8217;s number 259 on his bike,   it was awfully cool to see the 1w on Bubba&amp;#8217;s Chevy Trucks Kawasaki in Vegas.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Travis Preston&lt;\\/b&gt; is also scheduled for knee surgery this week (pending   background checks of the donor ligaments he&amp;#8217;ll need), and we&amp;#8217;ll possibly see   him back in action later in the season. He&amp;#8217;s also starring on this month&amp;#8217;s cover   of &lt;i&gt;TWMX&lt;\\/i&gt;, which will hit the newsstands soon. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 2] &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Danny Smith&lt;\\/b&gt; has already had two surgeries on his injured knee, and   may miss the rest of 2003. Danny&amp;#8217;s usual mechanic, &lt;b&gt;Billy Felts&lt;\\/b&gt;, will   fill in some of the time that Danny&amp;#8217;s sidelined by spinning wrenches for &lt;b&gt;Greg   Albertyn&lt;\\/b&gt; at Glen Helen, and for &lt;b&gt;Akira Narita&lt;\\/b&gt; at a couple of the nationals   following the season-opener. Billy&amp;#8217;s already looking forward to hunting up sushi   with Akira. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Some familiar faces made their return to racing last weekend. Moto XXX&amp;#8217;s &lt;b&gt;Kyle   Lewis&lt;\\/b&gt; returned after sitting out almost the entire season with a broken   wrist. Aussie &lt;b&gt;Michael Byrne&lt;\\/b&gt; also returned after sitting out most of the   125 East series with a broken thumb. Bynre ended up making the podium in the   125 Shootout, taking third.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 3]&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; The weather was quite unusual for Las Vegas with high winds and low temperatures.   The Las Vegas finale is usually in the 90s. The high was 68 degrees on Saturday   and a low of 48 by the 125 main. Wind gusts shot through the stadium throughout   the night and looked somewhat like a mini tornado at times. During the &amp;#8220;hot   lap&amp;#8221; &lt;b&gt;Chad Reed &lt;\\/b&gt;whipped it and the wind carried him so far he almost didn&amp;#8217;t   get the bike back around and had to stop and get his balance. He said it scared   him pretty good!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; The Las Vegas Supercross aired on Sunday on &lt;strong&gt;ABC&lt;\\/strong&gt;. A lot of   the industry personnel including &lt;b&gt;Ricky Carmichael&lt;\\/b&gt; watched poolside at   the Bud Light party at the Hard Rock hotel.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; The 125 Shootout features top riders from the East and West series. Missing   from action were 125 champ &lt;b&gt;Branden Jesseman&lt;\\/b&gt; who had surgery to repair   ligaments in his left thumb, 2002 125 West champ Travis Preston (with the injured   kneed mentioned above) and 125 East rider &lt;b&gt;Matt Walker&lt;b&gt; &lt;\\/b&gt;&lt;\\/b&gt;who suffered   a dislocated knee in Salt Lake. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Lots of special riding gear was in place for the finals in Vegas. Besides   the gold lam\\u00e9 &lt;b&gt;Fly Racing&lt;\\/b&gt; outfit that was set aside for Branden Jesseman   before he got hurt, &lt;b&gt;Matthieu Lalloz&lt;\\/b&gt; had a similar set (but in silver),   the &lt;b&gt;Team Subway MX&lt;\\/b&gt; riders had all-white Fly gear.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 4] &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Not to be outdone, &lt;b&gt;Thor&lt;\\/b&gt; did up jerseys for the &lt;b&gt;Yamaha of Troy&lt;\\/b&gt;   guys with their state flag in the numbers.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 5] &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; And finally, Ricky Carmichael anJames Stewart wore some pretty awesome gear   made for them by &lt;b&gt;Fox Racing&lt;\\/b&gt;. It was a tan &amp;#8220;digital camouflage&amp;#8221; that the   troops are wearing in Iraq. Stewart also had some special boots that matched   the gear with tan and green colors.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 6]&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Carmichael and Fonseca were sporting black armbands, as was all of Team Honda,   in remembrance of Telfonica MoviStar Honda rider Daijiro Kato, who passed away   on April 19 as a result of injuries suffered in the season-opening Japanese   Grand Prix. The 27-year-old former 250 road racing champion left behind a wife   and two children, one of which was born just prior to the fateful race.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;A lot of &lt;b&gt;press&lt;\\/b&gt; turned out for the Las Vegas finale to witness Chad Reed   and Ricky Carmichael battle it out for the title. &lt;i&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;\\/i&gt;,   &lt;i&gt;The Los Angeles Times&lt;\\/i&gt;,&lt;i&gt; ABC TV&lt;\\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Greek Press&lt;\\/i&gt; were   just a few who showed up. &lt;b&gt;Tag Studios&lt;\\/b&gt;, the Producers of &lt;i&gt;Supercross:   The Movie&lt;\\/i&gt;, were also filming all weekend getting last minute &amp;#8220;reality shots&amp;#8221;   as the season came to an end.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; The finish line in Vegas featured a very different section. Rather than the   typical tabletop, &lt;b&gt;Dirt Wurx&lt;\\/b&gt; made a section of rollers. Some riders would   triple, double out of it; others would double, double, single. The last set   of doubles is where Stewart crashed in the main.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 7] &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; The top privateer battle came down to a ten-point difference heading into   Las Vegas. &lt;b&gt;Keith Johnson&lt;\\/b&gt; had the lead but &lt;b&gt;Ryan Clark&lt;\\/b&gt; was ready   to do battle. Unfortunately, Clark missed the main after crashing twice in the   LCQ. Johnson took home the U.S. Tobacco bonus of $25,000, plus a brand new Nissan   Frontier. Johnson was given the keys following the 250 main and drove the truck   out of stadium. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 8] &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Chad Reed had a nice surprise last weekend. His parents flew in from Australia   to see him take his sixth straight victory. Chad said, &amp;#8220;My parents have only   flown to New Zealand which is a two-hour flight. I haven&amp;#8217;t seen them since last   October.&amp;#8221; Chad mentioned multiple times over the weekend how happy he was that   his family was there to see him racing in America.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; TheSupercross season ended with a bang Sunday night as the annual &lt;b&gt;Clear   Channel&lt;\\/b&gt; banquet went off. Some notable award winners were &lt;b&gt;Team Yamaha&lt;\\/b&gt;   for top team, Ryan Clark for the 100% award, Chad Reed was finally given his   number one plate for winning the THQ World GP title, &lt;b&gt;Jim Perry&lt;\\/b&gt; of Yamaha   took the Top Team Manager award and &lt;b&gt;Steve Bruhn&lt;\\/b&gt; of Motonews took the   Motor Racing Outreach Humanitarian award. The top 20 250 riders were given their   bonuses as well as the four champions. Congratulations everyone on a wonderful   season! &lt;b&gt;Andrew Short&lt;\\/b&gt; was given a $5,000 check for winning the 125 shootout   and the Coombs family threw in an extra $5,000 cash on top of it. The 125 shootout   was created and named after &lt;b&gt;Dave Coombs Sr. &lt;\\/b&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; [IMAGE 9]&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Clear Channel&amp;#8217;s &lt;b&gt;Charlie Mancuso&lt;\\/b&gt; announced that the legacy of &lt;b&gt;Jeremy   McGrath&lt;\\/b&gt; will live on. Beginning next year, the 250 trophy will be called   the &amp;#8220;Jeremy McGrath&amp;#8221; trophy. Also, a statue will be erected of MC in the AMA   Museum and with cooperation, it may be placed at Edison International Field   in Anaheim. Also, a scholarship fund will be set up in Jeremy McGrath&amp;#8217;s name   and he will decide how the money will be spent.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; At the &lt;b&gt;3D Racing&lt;\\/b&gt; trailer, they were showing off an electric MX bike   that attracted lots of attention. Riders who tried it were surprised at the   power and and speed. Of course, it was also really quiet, and you guessed it&amp;#8230;the   powerband was described as electric. Want more info?

Everyone who rode   the bike said that they were surprised how powerful it was.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blair Morgan&lt;\\/strong&gt; was making his first two-wheeled start of the   season after a successful winter season aboard the sleds. Look for Blair at   a couple of the early U.S. nationals before he heads back home to Canada for   the Canadian national season with teammate &lt;strong&gt;Craig Decker&lt;\\/strong&gt;. Blair&amp;#8217;s   night in Vegas was all about getting acclimated to two wheels again.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;[IMAGE 11]&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Last Thursday at Glen Helen was the last day for testing for the traveling   pros before heading out to Las Vegas for the final round of supercross, and   plenty of teams were there getting ready for action. &lt;strong&gt;ECC&lt;\\/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;KTM&lt;\\/strong&gt;,   &lt;strong&gt;Motoworldracing.com&lt;\\/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Speedy Cycles&lt;\\/strong&gt; (Steve   Mertens), and a full slate of &lt;strong&gt;Sobe Suzuki&lt;\\/strong&gt; riders were in attendance.   Some of the most interesting tidbits were &lt;strong&gt;Casey Johnson&lt;\\/strong&gt; getting   acclimated to a 125 Suzuki after riding several of the 4-Stroke Nationals. He   picked up a last-minute ride after Branden Jesseman&amp;#8217;s injury. Also, &lt;strong&gt;Stephane   Roncada&lt;\\/strong&gt; will spend the summer aboard the tiddlers after getting clearance   from his doctor after his recent leg surgery. Now he&amp;#8217;s just working on his stamina.   When we talked to him there, he wasn&amp;#8217;t sure if he&amp;#8217;d be ready in time for Glen   Helen.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Travis Pastrana&lt;\\/strong&gt; was putting in laps and looked strong and   smooth. Also back in action was &lt;strong&gt;Steve Lamson&lt;\\/strong&gt;, who rode well   into the afternoon.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Got a European-flavored moto-fascination?
