Kevin Windham Sparkles in Emerald City, Eli Tomac Gains Big Ground in Lites West
It was good to be a GEICO Honda rider during the 15th round of Supercross in Seattle. Fan favorite Kevin Windham and teammate Eli Tomac both earned runner-up finishes under the Saturday night lights at Qwest Field, Windham on his 450cc ride and Tomac on his 250cc Lites bike.
Windham, who won Seattle last season, always rides well on muddy racetracks and Seattle delivered for him again as rain leading up to the race made it treacherous for many riders.
"I did well because I was able to keep it on two wheels. That was the battle this whole race," Windham said. "The track changed each lap and I was just able to ride it out and keep my GEICO Honda upright."
The veteran rider has been working hard to crack the top five each weekend but has fallen short of a medal finish until this round.
