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<p class=\"isselectedend\">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<p class=\"isselectedend\">\"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<p class=\"isselectedend\">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":"<p class=\"isselectedend\">Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Aaron Plessinger will sit out the next two rounds of the 2026 AMA Pro &hellip;<\/p>","date":"July 10, 2026 13:37","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25048086,"title":"aaron plessinger","slug":"aaron-plessinger"},{"id":25048657,"title":"injury","slug":"injury"},{"id":25047678,"title":"ktm","slug":"ktm"},{"id":25047675,"title":"moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047764,"title":"mx","slug":"mx"},{"id":25048335,"title":"pro motocross","slug":"pro-motocross"},{"id":25049924,"title":"RedBud","slug":"redbud"}]},{"id":15813,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/07\/06\/hunter-lawrence-claims-redbud-overall-as-cole-davies-continues-250mx-streak\/","title":"Hunter Lawrence Claims RedBud Overall as Cole Davies Continues 250MX Streak","content":"Hunter Lawrence emerged victorious in the 450 Class at the RedBud National on Saturday, overcoming a disappointing finish in the opening moto to secure the overall win with 2-1 moto scores during Round 5 of the Pro Motocross Championship.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15816\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-15816\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-Pro-Motocross_Red-Bud_Hunter-Lawrence-Win-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> Hunter Lawrence won the final moto of the day earning the overall at RedBud.
