Podcast: Connor Fields on Chula and Comeback

Connor Fields wowed the crowd in Chula Vista with blistering times in the Time Trial, and then consistent frontrunning on Saturday. By the time the last gate of the day fell, Con-Man was alongside Maris Strombergs and Nic Long for the lead. He made a pass-move at precisely the right time, and came out of the first turn as, essentially the winner of the race.

But the lead-up to that moment was six months (seemed like way longer) of day-to-day uncertainty on whether or not he would ever ride a bike again, much less win a world cup main event. In part two of our three-episode Podcast Wrapup of the Chula Vista Supercross, Connor gives News the behind-the-scenes on his recovery from knee surgery earlier in the year, and where he’s at mentally as the Olympic year gets closer and close on the horizon.
