to make it in a great way, offering to the Italian fans a track that
rise up the occasion, originated by the expert Armando Dazzi and an
intense program load expectation due to the qualified range of
riders that will challenge inside the Genova’s Palasport.



Event’s
top of the range is the MX1 World Championship Antonio Cairoli, ready
to assert himself with his official KTM SX-F 350 also in the indoor
artificial tracks and ready to challenge the Americans and Europeans
who will line up behind the starting grid of this special edition of
Genova’s Superbowl. Starting with Trey Canard, leader of the
National 250 which so him graduated Champion at the end of a very
close racing series. The rider of the Honda GEICO Powersports Team
will cross the ocean with the seventeen teammate deputy champion of
the SX Lites Costa Est Justin Barcia and with the everlasting Kevin
Windham, second placed in Supercross behind Ryan Dungey and the only
one to have broken the Suzuki’s winning stripe in National 450.




Recent
record-man of the Motocross of Nations in Denver with the teamates
Dungey and Andrew Short, Canard is determined to close the season
pointing to the top step of the podium at Genova’s Supercross.



“I
am extremely excited – said the Oklahoma’s rider – not only
because I’ll fight with valid rivals but also for the fact that
apart from the travel in Canada for me is the first time I leave the
United States. Think that I will cross the ocean make me fell
excited.”



Have
you got an idea of what you’ll find in Genova?


“I
think so, I watched some movies of the last edition and it seemed and
exciting race. The track seemed different from those we have in
America, but the differences are not so much and I suppose will be a
enjoyable race, I’m looking forward to come and race.”



Do
you think you are more skilled in motocross or supercross?


“When
a schampionship of motocross ends I’m loaded for a supercross one,
and now that the supercross is ending I’m loaded for the motocross
Championship, that’s why for me there is no difference. Are both
challenge riding a bike, and for me this is the most important thing.
Whether are natural or artificial I don’t matter, the important is
to be competitive and enjoy it.”



Your
strengths and weaknesses?


“My
strong point is my stubbornness, I don’t ever give up, I do my best
from the start of the competition till the end of the race. Probabily
my weak point is my difficulty with overtaking, but I’m working on
it and getting better constantly.”



What
are your plans for next year?


“I’ll
race with Official American Honda Team, I’m glade of it, I think is
the best team around.”



When
did you become a professional rider?


“When
I was sixteen and I raced in the National”



Did
you get more satisfaction by winning your first title in 2008 or this
year?


“Probabily
winning this year gave me more satisfaction because I had to fight
more. I really enjoyed racing with Pourcel, we had some good battles
always in fair play, we respect each other and is beautiful having
such a rival.”



Your
home town is Oklahoma, a country where there isn’t a tradition of
cross.


“Practically
only Guy Cooper and Robbie Reynard made their mark in motocross.
Motocross is not widespread, probably because the tracks are few and
the winter is too cold to ride the bike. That’s why I go to
California when I began my training for the Supercross season, and I
come back home during the summer.”



Have
or have ever had an idol in motocross?


“Yes,
the first was Robbie Reynard, because is a local hero, in my country.
Then Richy Carmichael, I believe that every American rider is a fan
of him as he is known throughout the world.”



What
are your ambitions?


“Leave
a mark in the motocross world, be know as a good person and possibly
as a champion”



Have
you got an hobby?


“I
like sports in general, but apart from whose who I practice for
training when I have time I love driving the cars that are used to
build motocross tracks.”



What
do you like and what you don’t like in life?


“I’m
happy as it is now, I take things as they come and I think that if
something bad happens you can change it into something better.”
