Jimmy Weinert showcased in 1972. This is a Yamaha MX250 given that the near-factory level YZ250A was still a year away for the Yamaha Team riders. Notice the bungee cord tank strap.

Ken Roczen had a gnarly foot after crashing in moto one at the FIM World Supercross (WSX) event in Abu Dhabi. He finished 14th in the moto, came in 3rd in moto 2, and won the final moto with the injured foot!
