Racer X - Feb.5We got a note from the main man at the Confused Clothing/Warthog Racing Academy, Mr. Scott Kandel, about some of “the biggest squad in supercross’” recent milestones. He explained that Manu Rivas is back as the official senior member of the academy. “Amazingly, Manu went to the hospital directly after finishing the main event in San Francisco for an emergency appendectomy!” wrote Kandel. “He wasn’t feeling well all day long and still raced at a pace that would rank him among the top 20 supercross riders in the world. That is one tough dude!”
Rivas was able to battle past Michael Sleeter for an LCQ qualifying spot and then gutted out, er, oops, poor choice of words... Battled through the pain for 17th in the main event, and he now sits 17th in the standings in AMA Supercross. Rivas will have to miss this weekend’s San Diego round, but he should be back for Anaheim 3.
