The Fast Goodbye by Leo Villa March 12, 2007

He certainly looked fast in Toronto’s Rogers Center, though it was hard to measure him against Stewart and Reed. That is because a Tuff Block knocked him off his bike when he got too close to it on the second lap of the main event. That left him in the back of the pack, racing to catch up. With James and Chad looking exceptionally fast, winning was hopeless for Carmichael, but the last step on the podium was easily in his grasp. This fantastic trio remains head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. This was Carmichael’s last race and got in 3rd overall. He had the lead in points but now he gave it all up. Carmichael earlier in the year said, “Toronto will be my last race of the season. It’ll be a fast goodbye for my fans.” Is this the last we will see Ricky Carmichael? Knowing RC it won’t be the last time.
