Before taking the weekend off from the AMA Monster Energy Supercross, Team Honda HRC has set it's focus on the outdoors as the team looks to the 2016 AMA Motocross Championship.
Following the 12th round, the Detroit Supercross round, Trey Canard, Cole Seely and Justin Bogle were scheduled to spend Monday and Tuesday at Canard’s private track in Edmond, Oklahoma, to begin preparing for the AMA Pro Motocross series.
“This will be our first outdoor test of the season, which is typical for this time of year,” explained team manager Dan Betley.
“Trey has a couple different tracks that we’re going to do some testing on. Our focus for the week is chassis and suspension. We want to get a good base for the riders and get them comfortable. We’ll be starting with what we raced on last year and then building off of that. After this week, we’ll get back to supercross, but from here on out we’ll start to have some regular outdoor tests to get ready for the season.”

Plagued with injury during his rookie 450 outdoor season last year, Seely is looking forward to putting in the work for the 2016 series.
“I only raced a handful of motocross races last year, so I’m excited to get out there and test with the KYB guys especially,” he explained. “I didn’t get much time with them last year because I was transitioning over to their equipment when I got hurt, so I didn’t get much testing in. I’m excited to get out there and put some days in to figure out some outdoor settings. I feel like I’ve never really had a great outdoor setup that I feel confident in because I don’t think I’ve ever focused enough on the testing, so I’m excited to get back to it.”
With six rounds of the 2016 Supercross season left Canard sits 10th in the standings, Seely 6th and Justin Bogle 17th.
