>> Dan Reardon is no new face to the Supercross scene rac- ing from 2008 to 2011 before he announced his retirement. Then in 2015 the Australian rider decided to pick it back up and hit the Australian Supercross series where he won the championship. Making the comeback every rider dreams of Reardon had the opportunity to sign with Star Racing Ya- malube Yamaha for the 2017 season. Back with his second chance Reardon is showing what he has to offer. The Ya- maha rider rode a well thought out heat race that transferred him to the main event in fourth place. A position some of the top guys had a hard time getting. Now onto the main event Reardon reacted well out of the gate earning himself an eighth-place spot around the first lap. Having to fight his way around Hansen he was able to get the pass within the first few minutes of the race. It was smooth sailing for the rest of the time during the main event for Reardon where he was able to finish off in seventh place. Not his career best finish, but a good step forward as he makes his comeback in the motocross scene here in America.
