MX Diary: Canard's a comeback king
By Sean Lawless on 20th Apr 16
Honda HRCs Trey Canard fought through the pack to a fifth-place finish at Saturday nights 14th round of the Monster Energy Supercross series at St Louis Edward Jones Dome.
After getting hung up with another rider off the start, pushing him back to almost last, Canard staged a classy comeback to consolidate his ninth in the 450cc championship standings.
"I really enjoyed the track all day today,” he said. "I felt comfortable and we made some good adjustments right away so everything was clicking. I felt strong all day but, again, my starts were not on par which really cost me. I definitely think I could've been on the podium and battling with those guys up front but you can't do that from last place.
"I had an okay jump but got stopped when another rider in front of me went down and I had to go around him. Definitely not the way I wanted to start it but I'm happy with how I rode. We have three more so hopefully I can finish strong.”
