WORLD MOTOCROSS CHAMPION MARVIN MUSQUIN’S PHOTO GALLERY BY FRANK HOPPEN


Red Bull/KTM  rider Marvin Musquin finally returned to riding this week when he brought out his KTM 250 SXF practice bike out for the first time since injuring his knee at the Bercy Supercross race last November.


 “It felt so good to get back on the bike,” commented Musquin who took the past four months off to heal his torn ACL and meniscus following his surgery to repair the torn ligament. “There is no better feeling than riding for me, so I was eager to get back.” 


The two-time 250 World Champion, moved to the United States late last year in order to prepare for his first season racing U.S. Supercross. In November, he made the decision to return to Europe for one of his favorite events, the Bercy Supercross. While competing he caught his foot in a rut and injured his knee.


“I was really disappointed that I did not get to race Supercross this year, but I love the outdoor series and am looking forward to riding the U.S. circuit.” 


Musquin says he is getting more comfortable with each practice session. “My hands were definitely the sorest after my first ride on the bike and I still feel a little weak in my legs. It is going to take a lot of hard work to get ready for my first race but I have a great support system with the Red Bull/KTM team and my personal trainer to help get me up to speed.”


Musquin intends to make his racing return at the USGP at Glen Helen where he easily won both motos last year. 


Immediately following the USGP, Musquin will head to Rancho Cordova, California, for the opening round of the AMA 250 National Motocross Championship?where he will compete iagainst Wilson, Barcia, Tomac, Sipes, Rattray, Baggett and crew.


Marvin didn’t even crash in Bercy when he hurt his knee?he just twisted it.


Marvin Musquin will race with the assigned AMA number 125.


Marvin Musquin loves the USA and wants to be popular with the American fans…and hopefully not be the haughty reputation that haunted fellow countrymen Bayle, Vuillemin and Pourcel.
