Jeremy Martin Out Until Hangtown: According to his Instagram page, GEICO Honda’s Jeremy Martin will be sitting out the remainder of the 2017 Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Series to focus on regaining the 250cc National Motocross Championship, which he won in 2014 and 2015.
Jeremy Martin Out Until Hangtown
Martin has had a really rough supercross series, although his speed was actually at the elite level, but he says his back injury is bad enough that he wants to make sure it’s okay by the Hangtown AMA National MX opener, which is approaching quickly.
“Hey guys due to on going discomfort and pain from a herniated disc in my back,” Martin said on his Instagram page. “My team and I have decided it’s best for me to sit out SLC and Vegas and be 100% for the outdoors. I am a racer and want to race no matter what but sometimes the best decision isn’t easy and goes against the racer inside me.
I really want this third title and will be ready for major battles this summer. I’m very disappointed with missing three SX rounds already and how my SX season has gone this year so all the more reason to put everything into the outdoors since I’m out of the SX championship.”
Expect to see the number-six Honda lined up at Prairie City OHV Park on May 27, 2017.
