No Musquin For Supercross
L
ong-time Red Bull factory
KTM Supercross/moto-
cross racer Marvin Musquin
says that we won't see him
race anytime soon, at least
not in AMA Monster Energy
Supercross.
In 2023, Musquin had a
Supercross-only contract with
KTM but suffered a wrist in
-
jury at round one and has not
raced since, but he has been
mentoring the team's newest
member, fellow Frenchman
and former MX2 World Cham
-
pion Tom Vialle, who made
his debut in the U.S. this year.
The 34-year-old Musquin
recently posted on social
media: "Many of you are
wondering what I'm up to
and what my plans are for
the next couple of months.
What I know for sure is that
I won't be racing the 2024
U.S. Supercross Series. I have
been taking some good time
off to heal my last injury. It's
been fun to get back on the
bike, and I love riding. I will
give you more news as soon
as I can."
