I watch this video probably once every other month. YouTube is constantly recommending it to me because it knows I like it. Canard was my favorite. Takes a lot of heart to come back from such a devastating injury and still give it the berries.

Always thought that double looked pretty gnarly in person...

Ah, OK, thanks. I glanced at the ticker and thought is said Trey was one point down on Stewart for the overall. Guess I just misread it.

There is no doubt in my mind that Trey Canard could have been a multi-time champion if he'd stayed healthy. He had the speed, the skill and determination...and proved more than a few times that he could beat the very best.
I agree 110%. Canard was fast.... very fast.

They have both of these full motos from that year online, easy to find on Promotocross.com. The track wasn't prepped deep because they thought it was going to rain which made it a high speed track and it was the best overall day of racing all year. When you watch this race you also realize that in 2018 we haven't reached another level and progression has slowed. IMO the first race that looked like the guys today was High Point Moto 1 2006.

These races had it all, Stew flying through the whoops and RV going down early and going ridiculously fast on this high speed track. I would like to see a track prepped like this when the tracks get real deep there are only a few guys in the world that can really fly on those but on a less ripped track all of the "speed" guys were pretty close.

That was the ride of Treys 450 career IMO. For James, who was nearing the end of his career, it was another day at the job.

All good stuff I'm sure …..but watch both motos from that day at Millville....Canard was having a very good day and IMO the ride of his 450 career...and I'm sure if you were to call him up and ask him which race is most memorable or where he had the most fun it would be the same race. Millville 2013.



The Honda guys were bitching about forks during most of the 2014 season and when they finally switched Trey won 4 out of the last 6 motos including his 1-1 sweep at the last round and then won two races in the beginning of 2015 SX before getting tangled with Weimer handing the title to Dungey.

When Trey had things going his was like being healthy for an extended period of time he was as fast as anyone and could beat anyone, just like we saw right off the bat in 2011SX. Arguably the most stacked 450 field ever and he won three races out of 11 i believe. Reed and Dungey combined won three races all year and raced every round.

my personal favorite was 2010 Steel City against Pourcel. Never seen two guys so close for so long in both motos that day. I was on camera for the TV broadcast and I've never had more trouble focusing on my actual job! To top it off, Trey stuck up for a dejected Pourcel on the podium when Christophe was getting booed if I remember right (who knows if i do lol). Great day!
