Team Honda Muscle Milk has revealed that GEICO Honda’s Wil Hahn will fill in for Trey Canard at select Supercross races, commencing in Toronto this weekend.

While previous guest rider Cole Seely now goes back to focusing on the West Coast Lites class for Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda, Hahn will return from injury aboard the factory CRF450R.

Hahn had a successful 2012 debut at the season opener in Anaheim with a heat-race win and eighth-place finish in the main, before he suffered a fractured right hip while practicing.

“Wil has shown considerable speed in the last few years in the Lites class and we believe he has what it takes to run in the Supercross class,” said Team Honda Muscle Milk manager Erik Kehoe. “His focus and determination makes him a good fit for the team.

“I would like to thank everyone at GEICO Honda and all their sponsors for allowing Wil the opportunity to race a factory Honda in the Supercross class.”
