Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Aaron Plessinger will sit out the next two rounds of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Championship as he recovers from injuries sustained in a first-turn crash at last weekend's RedBud National. Plessinger suffered a deep laceration and significant bruising to his tailbone after the opening-lap incident in Michigan. While medical evaluations confirmed there are no fractures, the popular Ohio native will miss this weekend's Southwick National in Massachusetts and the following round at Spring Creek in Minnesota to allow the injury to heal.<\/p>\r\n

The injury required stitches immediately after the crash and forced Plessinger out of both motos at RedBud, ending what had been a consistent outdoor campaign. KTM officials indicated the additional recovery time is intended to give the fan favorite the best opportunity to return at full strength later this month.<\/p>\r\n

\"I\u2019m obviously bummed to be missing the next couple of races, but it\u2019s the right decision,\" Plessinger said in a team statement. \"The injury is painful, and I want to make sure I'm fully healed before getting back behind the gate.\"<\/p>\r\n

If his recovery progresses as expected, Plessinger is targeting a return for Round 8 of the Pro Motocross Championship at Washougal on July 25.<\/p>","excerpt":"
