Once again, Fredrik Noren will step in and fill a hole in the HRC Honda Team. This time he’ll be filling in for the injured Trey Canard and will make his 2016 HRC debut at round three in Lakewood, Colorado, May 30.
Canard broke his arm at the Detroit Supercross in March and was hoping to be ready for the start of the outdoor Nationals, but that didn’t happen. His return is still up in the air.
“I’m definitely bummed I’m not on the gate yet, but right now I’m staying focused on what’s ahead and looking to make the most of every moment until I can ride again,” Canard said. “I’ve been doing what training I can to stay physically fit for when it’s possible to start riding. I can’t thank everyone enough for being patient with my healing process, and I want everyone to know I’m doing my best to be back out there. I’m excited to get back to riding when the time comes.”
Noren, who finished ninth overall at the Hangtown opener on a Motorsports.com Honda, said, “The relationship I have with Honda is awesome. Everyone on the racing team is great, and I’m very thankful for the opportunities they’ve given me. I’m happy to get another chance to fill in on the team, but I’m also bummed because it means Trey is hurt; I’d rather have him out there racing too. I’m looking forward to giving my best effort and to working together with the team to keep improving.”
