Jimmy Albertson – Knee
Comment: Albertson crashed on the third lap of his second qualifying session at Anaheim 1 and caught his leg under the bike. He underwent ACL surgery in late January but has just been released to walk. “The knee feels great and it makes me feel good that I spent the proper amount time on crutches because now I walk great with no limp,” Jimmy told us last week. “I'm working very hard with my trainer Greg Direnzo to get back on the bike ASAP! I should be back on the bike sometime in May and look forward to racing the outdoors this summer on my Merge Racing, Trey Canard, Banco Basura, Honda. We may miss they first few races but we are just taking it day by day.”

Comment: The San Manuel Yamaha Red Bull rider injured his wrist while practicing in Florida the week prior to the Daytona Supercross, but he is expected to return to the Supercross Series and finish out the rest of the season.  According to a team press release issued yesterday, after further evaluation, medical experts concluded that Regal did not break his scaphoid bone, but that he had chipped his radius bone, which calls for a quicker healing period and is much less severe. Additional testing and evaluation will be done over the next week, but Regal could be back on the track as soon as Arlington’s race, in his home state.  “We are very excited to have him back,” said a representative of Team San Manuel.  “He is very talented and we know that he still has more to give to this Program.”
