David Baffeleuf is hard on the gas aboard his Husqvarna Supermoto race bike as he makes the transition from dirt to pavement in the AMA Supermoto Championship race at Shawano, Wisconsin in July of 2006. Baffeleuf was one of the few riders in the series that season who turned double duty, racing successfully in both the premier Supermoto class as well as the Unlimited Series. Baffeleuf finished ninth in both Supermoto races (pictured) at Shawano and third in the Unlimited Class. Chasing the speedy Frenchman in this photo are Brit Kurt Nicoll (No. 8 ) and Micky Dymond (No. 43), both former motocross stars.

Baffeleuf was a master of running hard on the pavement even with tires still dirty from the MX or flat track section of the circuit. (Larry Lawrence photo)
