Team San Manuel Yamah's Josh Hill Finishes Sixth


Stewart On Steady Physical Therapy and Rehab
ROUND
10 - ROGERS CENTRE, TORONTO, CANADA - MARCH 13TH  



LOS ANGELES,
CA (March 15TH, 2010)
- Making its tenth stop of
the 2010 series, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World
Championship, roared north of the border into Toronto, where 42,083
exuberant Canadian fans packed into Rogers Centre Saturday evening. Team
San Manuel Yamaha's Josh Hill brought in another top ten finish,
bettering last week's ninth-place in Daytona, with a come-from-behind
battle for sixth place.  Hill continues to sit third in the overall
championship points race with 177 points.


Hill's Saturday evening began solid, with fast practice lap times.
Running Heat Race 2, Hill took a formidable second for the direct
transfer to the Main.   Teammate and current Supercross Champion, James
Stewart, not racing due to a scaphoid injury sustained earlier in the
season, continues physical therapy and aggressive rehab on his
post-surgical right wrist.


In the Main event Hill had an unfortunate bad start but continued to
power through the field, moving up several positions from behind to take
a sixth place finish in the 20-lap race.


Post-Toronto Hill had this to say, “I'm working really hard with my team
and I am glad to still be in third place in the points.  Going to
spend more time this week testing and tightening up a few things. 
Still hoping to put my San Manuel Yamaha back on the podium a few more
times this season. And...again thanks go out to Team San Manuel and all
my great sponsors and everyone whose part of my program for sticking by
my 100%!"
