Add Rodrigues to the injured list
Simon Cudby checked in last night to tell us that Joaquim Rodriques
was injured yesterday at the Honda test track, and the report was
confirmed by the Cycle News website. The SoBe/Samsung Mobile
Honda rider from Portugal suffered a broken right tib/fib and will
probably miss the next three months.
Rodrigues' injury adds his name to the list of riders already injured
before the East Region SX Lites Series begins next month. He joins
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Troy Adams and Ben Townley and
Red Bull KTM's Jeff Alessi on the sidelines.
Also, WBR Suzuki's Ryan Sipes is healing from a broken foot, which he
suffered last Tuesday while preparing for the third round of the West
Region Series. A big get-well-soon goes out to all of these
riders.
