Jeremy McGrath leads the pack into the first turn in the AMA Red Bull Supermoto race in downtown Columbus in October of 2003. McGrath was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame the night before this race at the AMA headquarters in Pickerington, but on this day he played second fiddle to Jeff Ward. Ward got past McGrath and went on to a six-second victory with McGrath second and another motocross legend in Doug Henry finishing third. The thing that makes me smile about this shot is the photographer on the inside of the turn who decided he wasn’t in the safest location and is bailing out as fast as he can.
