Amsoil team Canard and Team USA Win Motocross of Nations

Canard and Team USA Win Motocross of Nations

Fresh off taking the 250 class Outdoor Nationals championship, Team AMSOIL motocross rider Trey Canard teamed up with fellow American riders Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short September 24-26 to win the 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations for Team USA at Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood, Colo.

Canard started the competition strong by taking a qualifying win. Although he fell at the first turn in the MX1/MX2 moto, he quickly recovered to move from 38th place all the way to 12th by the end of the race, earning the third MX2 placement in the race. In the MX2/MX3 moto, Canard got stuck in traffic, but moved up to finish a respectable seventh. Canard earned third place overall in the MX2 class.

“It was unbelievable – once again, I am in shock and so thankful for all that has happened the past few weeks,” said Canard. “Standing on the Team USA podium and hearing the National Anthem was the highlight for me – it was unreal!”

Amsoil Rider Canard Crowned Champion at MX Finale

Canard Crowned Champion at MX Finale

Pala Raceway proved a perfect spot to crown an new champion in the AMA Outdoor Nationals 250 class and just about everything went right for Team AMSOIL rider Trey Canard.

After gaining ground all season long, Canard needed to make up seven points on rival Chris Pourcel of in the final two moto to bring home his second career points championship.

A strong day of riding and a little bit of luck, (good for Canard, bad for Pourcel), put the championship talk to rest in the first moto. Even though Canard crashed, so did Pourcel and the Frenchman’s was much worse than Canards. A dislocated shoulder took Pourcelout of first race, and caused him to miss the second.

After finishing fourth in moto one, Canard ran with race leader Dean Wilson for much of the second moto before going on cruise control and enjoying his first outdoor championship and finishing third overall on the day.
