Message: [QUOTE="JuliusPleaser, post: 640522, member: 20659"] Got this from Motodrive. . . After just getting off the phone with Kevin Windham, we had to rectify any rumors circulating that Windham bowed out of riding at the Motocross Des Nations. Kevin said that he hadn’t really heard anything from Duke Finch stating that he was officially invited to race in the event. Right now, Ricky Carmichael, Tim Ferry and Ryan Hughes are slated to ride at the MXDN, but many skeptics were badgering Windham for skipping the Des Nations. Kevin simply stated that he hadn’t been given the nod to go, but if he had then he still wouldn’t have participated. After just coming back from a long break, Windham is concerned with supercross testing for the 2004 season. He’s also stated that he will not compete in the U.S. Open of Supercross in October and that he won’t be at any overseas supercross events. Why? Kevin said that he hasn’t ridden supercross in two years, and that before he even worries about testing, he’ll concentrate on just getting back into the swing of things by riding SX. He also stated that he really wanted to race in the MXDN because it’s the highest honor any rider can do, but that it just didn’t work out with knowing if he was even invited and also because of his lack of supercross bike testing. In any event, Kevin will be looking for his third straight race win when the Nationals head to Millville, Minnesota. [/QUOTE]
