You love March Madness, WE love March Madness, so let’s have some Vurbmoto Madness, shall we? We understand that March is now over, but we’re giving you guys some time to think these choices over. Today WE are announcing the Final Four and next week we will be down to our championship round!
If you’re late to this party, Troy Dog spent a weekend creating the ultimate list of the best riders to ever do the thing and we seeded them into a sweet sixteen bracket. Each week you have voted either here on the website, or on social media, to decide which riders move onto the next round.
The Results Are IN:
1.) Ricky Carmichael: 94%
8.) Jeff Ward: 6%
(The GOAT continues on to the Final Four as we all expected, but put some more respect on Wardy’s name!)
