Marvin Musquin Returns




Red
Bull/KTM Factory Team rider Marvin Musquin returned to action last
Friday when he brought out his KTM 250 SX-F practice bike to Pala
Raceway for the first time since injuring his knee at the Bercy
Supercross race last November.



“It
felt so good to get back on the bike,” commented Musquin who took
the past four months off to heal his torn ACL and meniscus following
his surgery to repair the torn ligament. “There is no better
feeling than riding for me, so I was eager to get back.”



The
2-time MX2 World Champion, moved to the United States late last year
in order to prepare for his first season racing U.S. Supercross. In
November, he made the decision to return to Europe for one of his
favorite events, the Bercy Supercross. While competing he caught his
foot in a rut and injured his knee. “I was really disappointed that
I did not get to race Supercross this year, but I love the outdoor
series and am looking forward to riding the U.S. circuit.”



Since
his initial ride on the bike last Friday, Musquin has ridden a few
more times and says he is getting more comfortable with each practice
session. “My hands were definitely the sorest after my first ride
on the bike and I still feel a little weak in my legs. It is going to
take a lot of hard work to get ready for my first race but I have a
great support system with the Red Bull/KTM team and my personal
trainer to help get me up to speed.”



Musquin
intends to make his racing return at the U.S. GP at Glen Helen where
he easily won both motos last year. Immediately following that race,
Musquin will head to Rancho Cordova, California for the opening round
of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship Series where he will compete in
the 250 class for the Red Bull/KTM Factory Team.
