Yamaha Podiums at Montreal ATV Supercross
Cody Miller and Richard Pelchat Interviews

Montreal, Canada (10/2/2007) - Out of sixteen entries in the ATV class main event at the Montreal Supercross on Saturday September 29, Yamaha's Cody Miller came out with the overall win in front of 50,000 people, as Greg Gee and Yamaha's Richard Pelchat rounded out the podium. We tracked down Cody and Richard to find out all about the event.

Interview with Cody Miller:


Cody! You won the race! Congrats!
Cody Miller:
"It was awesome. It was really a lot of fun. The track was pretty technical this year, and it was a cool experience.

So, you've raced the Montreal Supercross before then?
Cody Miller:
I raced it in 2005, and I was one spot away from the podium; I got fourth. It was more technical this year. It was a pretty good track. It was a lot easier to make passes on this year, so that helped me out a lot.

How was the start for you?
Cody Miller:
In the first [Warm-Up] moto, I started around eighth and passed up to fourth; I ended up fourth in the first moto. That gave me fourth position on the gate for the main. In the main, I think I started around sixth or so, then I made a few passes and I was right behind Greg Gee, Richard Pelchat and Jasmin Plante. There was one big triple jump that had a small downside on it-it was pretty tricky-Jasmin hyper-extended his knee whenever he landed and that pulled him off. Then Richard was leading the race, with Greg in second and I was in third. We were all kind of tight and then Richard clipped that same triple and he went over the bars. I was in second; Greg and I were battling it out for first and second for probably four laps. We passed each other back and forth several times over a triple jump in the back, and then one lap I took the line that he was anticipating me trying to make the same pass on him, so then I took a different line and passed him over the triple jump.

#22 Cody Miller

Did you know you could win this thing, or were you just hoping for any opportunity?
Cody Miller:
I was basically staying patient. I've raced with Greg a good bit this year. I was following and studying his lines, taking my time, I knew it was a ten-lap race. About the seventh lap, I passed him.

So, that triple was giving a lot of riders some problems?
Cody Miller:
I was on that triple jump in the third practice, and I came up a little bit short and kind of smacked the bottoms of my feet and my ankles. I had to pull off right then, and almost didn't even want to race because my feet were hurting so bad, but I got my ankles all taped up by the paramedics there, and it wasn't too bad during the race.

I saw your brother Hunter also had a good ride.
Cody Miller:
Yea, Hunter got in a pile-up on the start, and then he came back up to fifth.

How was the crowd?
Cody Miller:
The fans were awesome. Every time you hit a big jump or Greg and I would pass each other back and forth, you could hear a huge uproar; they were loud. It was cool.
