Tyla Rattray returns to MXGP
By Team TMX on 10th Apr 14
Husqvarna Motorcycles has just announced that Tyla Rattray will return to the FIM Motocross World Championship at Trentino, Italy
The Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory rider was sidelined from racing for the opening three rounds of the Motocross World Championship in Qatar, Thailand and Brazil, due broken finger sustained during his final preparations for the 2014 MXGP series
Now fully recovered, the former MX2 World Champion is ready to return to competitive action and get his season back on track at this weekend's GP of Trentino in Italy aboard his FC 350.
"I'm really excited to get back racing this weekend," said Rattray.
"It's been a long five weeks sitting on the sidelines. Since my surgery on the Monday after the GP of Qatar my recovery has gone exactly to plan. Three weeks after the operation my surgeon removed the pin in my finger and then this week I was given the all clear to ride again.
"Unfortunately I've only ridden my FC 350 twice in the lead up to the GP of Trentino, but I've worked hard to keep my fitness levels high. My goal for this weekend is just to get some race miles under my belt. The second race will be tough but I know I've got at least one good moto in me to score a decent result. After that my aim is to be 100 per cent by round six in Valkenswaard and finish at the sharp end of the results, where I know I belong.”
