Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing Team Prepares For Indianapolis Supercross

Round 12 of the 2018 Monster
Energy AMA Supercross Championship heads to Indianapolis, Indiana
this Saturday, while Monster Energy/Yamaha
Factory Racing team riders Cooper Webb and Justin Barcia continue
to work through challenges from injuries.
After making the tough decision to withdraw from the St. Louis
round last Saturday while nursing an injured shoulder, Webb spent
the week focusing on rehabilitation and physical training. Webb and
the Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing Team are continuing to
maintain a positive attitude, and hope to be ready for action in
Indianapolis this weekend.
Justin Barcia, who suffered a broken hand at the Arlington
Supercross round in February, returned to riding his
YZ450F this week. Since his surgery following that injury,
Barcia has been focused on rehabbing his hand and physical training
to maintain his fitness levels. With a week of light outdoor riding
behind him, Barcia and the team are targeting the Seattle round on
April 7 for his return to Supercross racing.
Cooper Webb, 450 SX #2 - Monster
Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing Team Rider
"I'm doing all I can to be ready for Indianapolis. Unfortunately, I
had a crash right before St. Louis which injured my shoulder a
little bit. I tried riding this past weekend but it was a bit weak
and we decided not to risk any further damage. I've been going to
PT this week and keeping up my cardio on the bicycle to stay ready.
I hope to see everyone this weekend in Indy!"
Justin Barcia, 450
SX #51 - Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing Team
Rider
"This is my first week back on my Yamaha and things are progressing
well for me. My hand is pretty weak and sore, but I'm just happy to
be back on the bike and rebuilding the strength in my hand. I can't
wait to be back at the races!"
