Official comment on Trey Canard

Trey Canard injured his collarbone in a crash during practice while preparing for the season  opener at Anaheim, CA.  Canard and the team were making preparations for the upcoming Supercross season when the incident occurred.

Erik Kehoe - Team Honda Muscle Milk Manager: "Trey suffered a fracture to his collarbone when he crashed at a team test. He underwent surgery and his physicians estimate he will need a recovery time of four weeks at the minimum. It’s very disappointing to see this happen to Trey, especially after all the hard work he’s put in to recuperate from injuries in 2011. He will miss the first few Supercross rounds, but our team will continue our preparations for the upcoming season with Trey’s teammate, Justin Brayton."

Canard took home the prestigious AMA Supercross "Rookie of the Year” at the season-ending awards ceremony. It’s not surprising that Trey took home the 2011 award, as the incredibly talented rider had an impressive rookie 450 season with three first-place wins and five podium finishes. 

A dedicated and determined competitor, Trey’s speed was evident on the track, earning him 13 finishes in the top six. After making a run for the title, an unfortunate crash in practice and a cracked femur kept Trey from finishing out the season; otherwise he would have had a legitimate shot at the title.
