Marvin Musquin Update (6-11-2011)

Last Wednesday, Marvin Musquin had his another appointment with his surgeon, Dr Alexander. He removed Marvin's cast to take more X-rays. After reviewing the X-rays, he determined that nothing is wrong, and that everything looks pretty good. Recovery could be faster than he was expecting, which is very good news!

Marvin said, "I was happy when the doctor told me all was OK. He made me a new cast, which he will take off June 16th for good. He checked my thumb more as well, to be sure the tendon is becoming strong enough. As far as my wrist, my fingers are totally free, I can move them and use them. In five days, I will be able to begin strong rehabilitation with a physiotherapist. My thumb is still the most sensitive area, but I'm more confident than before."

Marvin is continuing to workout at the gym everyday with his trainer, Yannig Kervella.

How was your racing today?

It was good, I thought we had a practice first, I went out and it was actually a race. I was just racing and riding around, I felt like ... WOW!

What did you think of the event overall?

It was to difficult racing for me, because I didn't ride my pace. I rode about 6th place, less than I wanted to. I got the same number as last year, I just tried to do my best.

RJ Says: US MX GP at Glen Helen - my thoughts

I was very impressed with the layout of the entire facility - the pits, the press, the track ... the entire presentation.

Everyone from Glen Helen Raceway - Dr. Bud Feldkamp (track owner) to Lori (track manager), their staff including Carl, Steve, Bob did a great job in representing the United States and California in having one of the greatest motocross tracks in America.

I sat with Dr. Wolfgang Srb, President of the FIM Motocross Commission, and he was very impressed with the preparation of everything as well, including the track, especially with the fact that the event was put on with 60 days notice. He thought everything was top notch, and is excited to have the event come back next year.
