Red Bull Factory rider Aaron Plessinger will sit out the remainder of the Supercross season after suffering an elbow fracture. Plessinger’s injury occurred during Round 13 at Foxborough. Plessinger was sidelined after a crash in the opening qualifying session.
“I’m really bummed to not be able to finish out the full Supercross season, given I was having my best 450 season yet. Your elbow is just one of those areas of your body that takes a lot of impact when you ride, so I need to do the right thing and let it heal properly with a realistic goal to be back in time for the start of the Pro Motocross series. The good thing is there is no ligament damage, so healing should hopefully be short and sweet. It’s hard to be negative when I’m lucky enough to work with a great team who fully support healing properly, so we should all be back together getting ready for an early start on outdoor preparations in a few weeks’ time,” said Plessinger.
Plessinger will not undergo surgery and is expected to be back on track for the opening rounds of the Pro Motocross Championship at Pala.
