"REEDY" READY
TO RIDE
C
had Reed said via his Instagram ac-
count last week that he has been giv-
en the okay from his doctor to start riding
again. In October, Reed injured his ankle
while practicing for the Red Bull Straight
Rhythm. The injury required surgery and
he has been laid up ever since.
Although no official announcement has
been made from the Reed camp, Reed, a
two-time AMA Supercross 450SX Cham-
pion, is planning to suit up for Anaheim I
on a privately funded Husqvarna. CN
Chad Reed says he has been given the okay from his
doctor to start riding again. But riding what? It's looking
more and more like Husqvarna.
