Reed'ing the conditions
By TMX Archives on 30th Jan 08
RAIN swept across the San Francisco Bay area just in time to soak round four of the AMA Supercross Series inside the city's waterside AT&T Park but, despite the heavy rainfall and the increasingly difficult conditions, there was a familiar face out front, Chad Reed.
The championship leader registered his third win of the young season, aboard his factory Yamaha, in relatively easy fashion, riding a smart, controlled race that saw him work up from an average start into the winning position steadily as the early front-runners began to fall by
the wayside in the muddy conditions.
Longtime race leader Kevin Windham suffered one of the bigger spills of the night but recovered to claim second place and his third straight podium finish while Davi Millsaps bounced back from a no-score the previous weekend, at Anaheim II, to register his first Supercross class podium finish in third.
