Janssen Ready for Big Performance at Nearby Spring Creek

TimeWednesday, June 29, 2016 | 12:15 PM

For Cody Janssen, reigning ATV Derby Pro World Champion, this is the home field advantage stretch of the ATV Motocross schedule. With three close races in a four race span (Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan), this is where the Wisconsin native looks to flex his muscles and turn his injury-riddled season around. Coming off a solid performance in the first leg of this home stand at Sunset Ridge that saw Janssen have a very strong Pro Class 2nd moto and a Pro Am overall finish right outside the top 5, Cody looks to really shine in Minnesota.

“This season has been a constant struggle with my injuries and everything that comes along with that, but that being said I think we’re going to get it done at Millville!” Janssen said with a grin. “I’ve been working so hard, it has to show. Day after day I’ve been staying the course and with so many great people behind me, it’s time for a big performance. [Spring Creek] is a man’s track…. Big, strong guys do well there and that’s how I see myself. I’m looking forward to the battle, and I think you’re going to see the #25 up on the podium on Sunday.”

For Cody, his somewhat disappointing results in 2016 haven’t been for lack of effort. The 2014 AMA ATV Pro Rookie of the Year continues to put in the necessary work it takes to succeed. Few individuals work the way he does, few focus in the manner he does, few are as disciplined as this young man. I think you’re going to see him ride well this weekend and I think you’re going to see him battle for a podium finish on Sunday in the Pro Am class. To all that continue to support him, he is forever grateful, the continuous striving for greatness is for you.
