Trey Canard made his official racing debut in KTM colors at the opening of the 2017 Monster Energy Supercross season last Saturday aboard the KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition but a practice injury saw him struggle through the night.
Canard struggled in his heat, semi-final and LCQ races due to a sore shoulder sustained in crash during the afternoon practice session. Following a discussion with the team after the parade lap, Canard decided to not line up for the Main Event.
"A tough day in Anaheim for me yesterday," Canard said on instagram, "I crashed the second lap of practice in a rhythm section and banged up my shoulder. I didn't think it was much and tried to ride through it but by the time I got to the main event I couldn't manage so I decided to call it a night. Getting checked out tomorrow so hopefully nothing too serious. A huge thanks to everyone @redbull @ktmfactoryracing for being behind me. I will do my very best to pull myself back up on my feet. Couldn't do it without my wonderful wife."
