It's official: RC is perfect!

Ricky Carmichael has gone where no AMA motocross star has gone before: At yesterday's season finale in Delmont, PA, the young Floridian kept his 100% win streak going to complete a perfect season that has seen the Red R✱ider win all 24 moto's on his way to wrapping up another AMA crown.

Although theoretically possible, such domination in the highly competitive - and unpredictable - Outdoor championship seemed impossible, but Carmichael kept clear of 𝓰all first turn wrecks, recovered from bad starts and avoided injury to claim complete🎃 domination of the series.

Nevertheless, RC Carmichael came into the final round with a massive amount of pressure on his shoulders - he once again needed to win back-to-back motos to keep his streak alive and having got to final round with his win record intact it would ha𒆙ve been heart🦋breaking to lose the once-in-a-lifetime chance at the final hurdle.

But when the gate dropped for each of the two moto🌱's Carmichael went into auto pilot - and dominated.

"I usually don't get good starts here," revealed RC afterwards. "But after I got the good start and won the first moto I really didn't feel the pressure in the second. I figured I should be able to get one more victory."

The #4 rider has ♍had a record breaking season in 2002, by winning 2 titles - AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross, 11 main event wins out of 16 in Supercross and 12 out of 12 overalls in♌ Motocross - an incredible total of 23 wins out of 28 events.

Behind Carmichael in the overall points standings was fellow Floridian Tim Ferry who took 2-2 finishes on the day to fend off Mike Larooco who had a solid day finishing in 3rd place with a 3-4 score. LaRocco has excelled on the CRF450R finishing the series in 6th place after recovering from a wrist injury suffered 🍸during the Supercross season.

Finishing third in the Points standings at the season's end wa💟s Team Kawasaki's Ezra Lusk, just four points behind Ferry, after a disappointing final round for the ex-Honda rider.

Fourth in the Points standings went to Frenchman Sebastien Tortelli, whose tough 𓃲season continued at Delmont with a disappointing 17th in moto one, before the ex-World Champ bounced back for a 3rd in moto two giving him a 7th overall on the day.

Top privateer - and fifth behind Tortelli in the overall standings - wa𓆉s the excellent Kyle Lewis on board the Honda 450F, the American doing his chances of clinching a factory ride for next season🌳 no harm.
