Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing's Nico Izzi celebrated an impressive fourth-place finish in front of his home crowd at Saturday night's AMA Supercross Lites race at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
Ricky Carmichael extended his points lead in the Amp’d Mobile AMA Supercross series by finishing second in front of more than 40,000 cheering fans at Detroit’s new Ford Field on Saturday night as team mate Ivan Tedesco finished an impressive fourth. “It was definitely a race for the fans,” said Carmichael from the podium. “I got to pass Chad Reed twice and we were playing cat-and-mouse. Then I got tangled with a lapper and almost crashed. I was bummed for Suzuki though, because I really felt like we had the speed tonight to battle for the lead. But it was a good race for the fans.”
