Craig to stand in for Seely at MEC
Following a disappointing end to the outdoor season at the Motocross of Nations, Honda HRC’s Cole Seely has chosen to go under the knife this week to remove a plate and four screws from his right hand. This was the right time for him to do it and will allow him the time he needs to recover full and get back training for the upcoming Supercross season. Unfortunately for the Honda HRC team this means that both their current riders are out as Ken Roczen is still fighting to be fit for Supercross.
With this turn of events Team Honda HRC will be represented at the Monster Energy Cup by GEICO Honda rider Christian Craig. HRC have also drafted in their European Team HRC rider and 2016 MXGP Champion Tim Gajser to complete the offering. Craig showed some great speed and promise over the last year while he was filling in for the injured Rockzen in Supercross and the outdoor seasons and im sure will be itching to show them he has the right stuff while covering the team riders.

"I was planning on having the surgery done right after the motocross season ended but obviously had to postpone it when I was selected for the Motocross of Nations. It was a really minor procedure, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to do because the hardware has been bothering me for a while now. It was hard to make a tight fist and would get sore after races, so I think this will help. I also want to take some time off, which is why I decided to do it now and miss Monster Cup. I’ll have a couple weeks to relax, recover, and let my body rest before diving full-speed into supercross training."

"After spending the entire outdoor season with them, we have a really cool relationship, so I’m happy to get the opportunity to keep racing the CRF450R. I’ve always liked MEC because it’s a different format and is exciting for both racers and fans. The team and I started testing a couple weeks ago, and everything has been going awesome. I’m used to the bike, but we just had to tweak a couple things to change it over for supercross. I’ll have a couple more weeks of practice, and then we’ll be in Las Vegas!"
The Monster Energy Cup is hotting up to be an epic event! Good luck at MEC Christian and i look forward to seeing you in the mix! :)
