Josh Hill torna al Monster Energy Supercross. L’ex pilota ufficiale della Yamaha (forse qualcuno non ricorderà nemmeno gli anni) farà il sostituto per l’infortunato Justin Barcia questo fine settimana a Seattle, l’annuncio è dato da Monster Energy Yamaha sui social.

Hill ha recentemente siglato un accordo per competere nell’ arenacross del nuovo Rockstar Energy Triple Crown Championship in Canada.

Questo weekend segnerà la prima gara per Hill dopo il suo ultimo 13° posto ad Atlanta 2 nel 2015. Hill si è schiantò una settimana dopo, in prova a Daytona e da allora non ha più corso.

“Ricevere una chiamata da Factory Yamaha per venire a correre a Seattle è stata una sorpresa totale per me”, ha detto Hill in una dichiarazione. “Stavo tornando a casa dopo aver vinto il campionato nazionale di snowbike AMA e stavo pianificando di correre a Seattle con la mia moto. Ho ricevuto una telefonata da Keith McCarty, chiedendomi se volevo sostituire Justin Barcia e naturalmente ero onorato e scioccato dal fatto che avrebbero pensato a me. È piuttosto surreale uscire dalla pensione e ricevere una chiamata da Factory Yamaha per correre. È ancora più bello che Factory Yamaha sia il luogo in cui ho iniziato la mia carriera nel 2006, quando avevo 16 anni e rifarlo ora 12 anni dopo, tornando alla mia gara di casa a Seattle, è piuttosto eccitante. ”

“Getting a call from Factory Yamaha to come race Seattle came as a total surprise to me,” Hill said in a statement. “I was just on my way home from winning the AMA National Snowbike Championship and was planning on racing Seattle on my own bike out of my own truck. Got a call from Keith Mccarty, asking me if I wanted to fill in for Justin Barcia and of course I was honored and shocked that they would think of me. It’s pretty surreal to come up out of retirement and get a call from Factory Yamaha to go racing. It’s even cooler that Factory Yamaha is where I started my career out in 2006 when I was 16 and to be doing it now, 12 years later, coming back to my home race in Seattle, is pretty exciting.”
