Was the X-Games race Ricky Carmichael's last?

Question

The #4 of Ricky Carmichael won the MX race at the X-games over the weekend. Was this his last race?

Yeah i saw him race in Toronto. He crashed and still managed to take 3rd! I cant mimagine him retirering now with his talent.

Answer 1

Ok, heres the low-down on RC.
I only know this because I've been a avid RC fan since he came on the scene in 1997.

the GOAT has raced the first 5 nationals this year (won all of them) and then he's also racing at Millville (this weekend).

You will not see RC on a dirt bike again (Except for the X-games) after this year. He's been very clear to anyone that has asked him that.

Yes, he said he would be back at the x-games next year for the MotoX and he might do the step up.

As far as what else hes planning on: Rumors are circulating that he might race Paris/Bercy MX. Nothing soild on that yet but rumors are swirling and the Euros are super stoked to see #4 before he's done.

Then his last scheduled race on 2 wheels is the Motocross Des Nations this October at Budds Creek, MD. It's like the olympics of MX.

After that he's off to the NASCAR circuit. Ugh.
I'll always be a RC fan but I won't be watching him on 4 wheels.

Answer 2

that had to be the easiest motocross track i ever seen there wasnt even any rutts i mean come on. had bubba stewart been there carmichael maybe would not have won. to answer the question no carmichael is racing this weekend in millville, minnesota

Answer 3

From what he said last year, he will be participating in limited races, so don't be a bit surprised you will see him again next year, but very limited.

Answer 4

supposedly..he says he might retire, but after winning the first moto x race at x games this year he might still compete...true legend he is though..he aint the goat for nuttin...
