Ricky Carmichael calls into PulpMX to break down one of the most surprising stats of his legendary career: why he never won Anaheim 1. The GOAT explains how he approached Supercross season openers, why he never put massive pressure on winning A1, and how his long-term mindset helped him build toward championships instead of peaking too early.
RC also shares insight into how critical Anaheim 1 really is, what riders are feeling heading into the 2026 Supercross season, and how today’s top contenders are likely handling the pressure of the sport’s biggest opener.
From mindset and preparation to expectations and reality, this is a rare look inside the thinking of the most successful Supercross rider of all time.
