Canard out of the Supercross
Friday 15 April: American Honda's Trey Canard has fractured his femur in a practice crash. Canard won last week at St Louis and moved into 5th overall just 4 points behind James Stewart.
American Honda announced today that
Trey Canard will miss the remaining three rounds of the 2011
Supercross Championship after injuring his leg in a practice crash.
Canard and the American Honda Racing team were at Competitive Edge MX
Park in Hesperia, CA, making preparations for the upcoming Motocross
season when the incident happened.
"Trey suffered a non-displaced fracture to his femur when he crashed at a team test,” said American Honda Racing Team Manager, Erik Kehoe.
"The good news is that the fracture is not as
severe as it might have been. We are hopeful Treyʼs return to racing
will come soon. Itʼs very disappointing to see him get hurt, especially
after the fantastic Supercross season heʼs having. In his rookie season
heʼs won three Supercross races and was in the championship points
chase with three rounds to go. He will miss the remaining Supercross
rounds, so the team will focus on our preparations for the upcoming
Motocross series where both Trey and Josh Grant will make their returns
to racing.”
