[QUOTE="Senior KX Rider, post: 655790, member: 16694"] racerx Kevin Windham on the 2003 Motocross des Nations Tony Scavo photo With the outdoor national season just over (somewhat prematurely), Racer X is already looking ahead to the next big race on the schedule, the 2003 FIM Motocross des Nations in Zolder, Belgium, on October 5. On that day, Team USA's Ricky Carmichael, Tim Ferry and Ryan Hughes will try to win back the Chamberlain Trophy, which Team USA won the last time they participated in the race, in 2000. RC, Red Dog and Ryno are a formidable team, but where's Kevin Windham? After sitting out almost a full year due to a broken leg, K-Dub returned this summer and became the only man to take an overall motocross win from Carmichael in the last two years. We decided to call the man and ask him ourselves. "Originally, I did want to go to the Motocross des Nations. It sounded like a great idea. But as things got closer, I found myself in a position that I did not have a ride lined up yet for the 2004 season," said Windham from his home in Mississippi on Monday evening. "I was in the midst of deep negotiations, and reality was beginning to set it. Once there was a shadow of doubt about 2004, things began to compound. I had not raced a supercross in two years, and the other reality was that I was going to be racing supercross with a 450 and not a two-stroke 250. Then there is our new baby, who has been on the road a lot. For my family and me, I felt it was better to spend time at home. I wanted the baby to get adjusted to home, I wanted to get to work on my supercross track, and to also begin getting prepared to test in California. In all seriousness, it's my job to be prepared for the first supercross of the season at Anaheim in early January. I want to be ready. I had a real successful year in 2003, and through testing and training, I want to keep that up. I'm not ruling the Motocross des Nations out in the future, I just need to get some things finalized and settled here and be ready for supercross. I hope the team can go over there and do what I know they can do: win." Windham will be back with Factory Connection and Honda in 2004, doing his own team again, but in supercross as well as outdoors. [/QUOTE]
