Troy Lee Designs / Seaspan / PPG / Honda rider Jake Moss will join the Supercross fray this weekend in Anaheim.

The colorful Australian rider broke his back in a practice crash in November and was not expected to be back on a motorcycle anytime soon. Despite the severe nature of the injury, Jake was determined to get back on the race track as soon as possible. Through a stringent rehabilitation program, and genuine grit, Jake has gotten himself healthy and ready to go for this weekend’s race, round five in the west coast supercross series.

“I was really looking forward to joining the Troy Lee Designs team this year,” said Moss. He added, “Literally the day after I signed the contract I went out and crashed. I was bummed, for sure. I’ve just really put my head down to get healthy and make sure I get some solid finishes before the season ends. I was hoping to be back for the San Francisco round last weekend but the team asked me to wait one more weekend to prepare a bit more. I’m really excited for this weekend.”

Jake likes riding in the mud and with clouds looming overhead in the southern California skies that could play into his favor. Either way, Jake Moss is planning on jumping right into the battle at the front of the supercross lites class.

Look for the number 42 Honda this weekend at Angels Stadium.
