Trey Canard Returns to Motocross

Torrance, CA: American Honda Racing’s
Trey Canard will make his return to AMA Motocross racing this weekend
at the Spring Creek Motocross National in Millville, MN. Canard
returns to racing aboard his factory Honda–prepared CRF450R, having
recovered from the leg injury that he sustained earlier in the year
while training for the Motocross season.

“Knowing that I’m only days away
from racing again and to be racing my first-ever 450-class Motocross
event feels awesome,” said Canard. “Since getting back on my bike
and training for motos, everything has gone smoothly. I love riding
the CRF450R and can’t wait to race it outdoors. I’ve been riding
a lot at home in Oklahoma, and I’ve spent time in Southern
California testing with the Honda team. I feel really good and the
team has given me a lot of support. However, I expect it will take a
little while to get up to full race speed.”

“We are excited to see what Trey can
do at the remaining six rounds in the Motocross series,” said
American Honda Racing Team Manager Erik Kehoe. “Trey has made a lot
of progress in a short period of time since getting back on his bike.
He’s an incredibly focused and determined racer, and I think that
within a few races he will be mixing it up with the front-runners.”
