Torrance, CA: 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 Trey’s return to racing will come soon. It’s very
disappointing to see him get hurt, especially after the fantastic
Supercross season he’s having. In his rookie season he’s 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.”
