2 Minutes with Team Yamaha's Broc Hepler July 22, 2007 Like about every other motocross fan I was very disappointed to hear about Yamaha Factory rider Broc Hepler’s injury earlier this year. Suffering a serious concussion, Hepler has been recovering for almost six months. Hepler would have been a serious contender for the 2007 AMA Toyota Motocross Lites Championships title. With an impressive third in moto one at Unadilla last week (his first race in 2007) I tracked down one of the fittest riders on the circuit to get his thoughts. Broc how was it to be back racing at Unadilla last week? Well, I was kind of nervous; when you haven’t raced in so long, and you’re not sure where you will be on the track – in what position. But the race went pretty well; we had a very good first moto. In the second moto I didn’t really struggle; I just couldn’t get through the first turn. But that happens sometime and it’s just the way it goes – I’m really looking forward to this weekend. I think that it was super to get a podium in your first moto back! It was great; I don’t think that we could have expected too much more with it being the first race back. How are you feeling about this race? Well it’s hard to really tell where my training is at; with me just doing the one race so far. It’s hard to say because I’m not sure how hard the other guys are training – but I feel good. I’m sure that we will find out by the end of the day.
