Makita Suzuki’s Michael Byrne continues to rebound from injury, getting two good starts on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 before a few mishaps saw him finish17th overall.

Michael Byrne:

“It wasn’t the greatest race for me. I got two really good starts on my Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450. In the first moto, I was running fourth and then I fell on the first lap and had to come from last. In the second moto, I made a mistake and ran off the track and was in the same situation. It was a rough one, especially because everyone on the team has been working so hard and the bike is running great. I’m just not 100 percent yet and I just need to keep working at it.”

Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race next at Freestone County Raceway in Wortham, Texas,

on Saturday, June 6, 2009.
