Yamaha Factory Supercross Rider Chad Reed Is Ready For Atlanta MotoFest

Cypress, CA

Following an eventful weekend up in Minnesota, the Monster Energy/Yamalube/Chaparral/Yamaha Financial Services/Yamaha Factory Racing Team heads into Atlanta for this weekend's MotoFest, with two-time Supercross Champion Chad Reed carrying the flag as the lone rider for the squad.

"This year has easily been one of the most challenging seasons of my career and, honestly, for no clear reason" Chad said. "But, that's racing sometimes. Atlanta was where I got my last 450SX main event win in 2015, so I'm very much looking forward to Saturday night. I've got a positive attitude, and I'm going into the weekend with a clear plan and a good vibe."

After going down hard in his heat race last Saturday night at the Minneapolis Supercross and suffering a bruised shoulder, Chad's teammate Cooper Webb has been ruled out of this Saturday's Atlanta Supercross. Cooper is currently rehabbing from the injury, and he hopes to get back to racing his #2 Factory Yamaha YZ450F as soon as possible. An update on Cooper's condition will be provided next week.
