Who Can Step Up and Challenge Carmichael in 2003 Supercross?

By Dirck Edge

After two consecutive 250 supercross championships, and countless (well, let's see, is it six in a row?) outdoor motocross championships, can anyone seriously challenge Ricky Carmichael in next year's AMA supercross series beginning in January?

What about Jeremy McGrath on his new KTM 250SX (are the rumors true that he was two seconds a lap faster on the KTM than he was on his Yamaha factory bike?)? What about a healthy and focused Travis Pastrana (okay, assuming he is healthy and focused)? What about Ezra Lusk on the new 2003 KX250? What about Chad Reed or David Vuillemin over at Yamaha? What about 250 rookie Grant Langston at KTM?

Okay, so maybe RC is going to kick all their butts once again. We would like to hear from readers on their thoughts, however. Can anyone beat RC next year? Who is it? Let us know.
