After Trey Canard’s big crash on Saturday night in Indy, we stopped by the Honda Muscle Milk truck to check his status, and the team said he was mostly okay, with his sore shoulder checking out okay on X-rays. He did hit his head, though, and now after a concussion test, it has been revealed that Trey did suffer a concussion. We texted Trey this morning and he said the rest of his body feels good. Due to the concussion, he says he’s doubtful for racing this weekend in Toronto.Dean Wilson went down hard in his Indy heat race. Yesterday, Wilson went on Instagram apparently with the doctor's first fears, which were a collapsed lung, a broken rib, broken shoulder and broken back.
After a more thorough review, he was told that he only had a broken rib and collapsed lung (not a broken shoulder or back), though his shoulder will get a second opinion once he's able to fly home to California. There was confusion among the PR people for Kawasaki and they told us that the 2011 250 Motocross Champion did not have the broken back or shoulder that was being reported online. He also received a positive report on his shoulder from an ortho doctor at the hospital, after initially being told that it was likely broken.
We’ll keep on top of the status of both riders going forward. Get well soon, guys!

Glad to hear DW back and shoulder is not as bad as first reports.
Anyone this is kinda crappy how hard Barcia scrubbed that jump with Canard his TEAM MATE right next to him. Wasn't even a battle for the lead. Love Bam Bam but that was reckless.

Watched the replay and it looked to me that it was Canard is the one who scrubbed the jump and may be more at fault for his wreck that Barcia.......maybe he thought Barcia was going to scrub same direction to set up for the corner but didn't.....
Bummer for Wilson and glad to hear he should be Ok for the outdoors!

Yeah, Barcia had nothing to do with it. Canard,, that guy needs to be careful.. He's wreckless out there..
Jw12 barcia squared the corner up underneath canard and hit the jump straight. Canard scrubbed out the left putting his front end to close to barcia
Canard was going down as soon as he left the corner. That's where it started to go wrong for him
It looks like Canard turned his front wheel and slightly touched Barcia's leg after being surprised Barcia was so close, all this happening in a split second, and at speed, high in the air, any touch changes the gyro motion causing Canard to lose control. His front wheel was steering the momentum, once the front changed it was over. Blame the track. Get well soon Super C.
Great news! Keeping fingers crossed for Deano to come back for Nats. Bummed that he won't be 100% though
@ Davey/Jason; Thanks for the update on both riders. I was hoping that the initial (Dean Wilson) tweet was in error.
For anyone who has experienced broken ribs, they are often associated with spinal/vertebrae fractures prior to X-Ray. So, I can see where the mistake would come from. I am just glad to hear that the injuries were (less) severe. Because the lessor ones posted are plenty to be concerned with, as they are.
Regarding Trey Canard; That is one tough dude from what I have been witness to over the last few years. To see him get up and walk off the track was an amazing sight, based on what just appeared a few short minutes before.
I hope both Deano and Trey rest up, and get healthy real soon. You are both great ambassadors to this wild sport we are all so passionate about.
Glad to hear the (lessor) of two evil medical reports, about you both...
No laughing Deano, I know how it hurts to laugh.
I hate to even say it, but with Trey I cannot help but think "When" not "If" he will have a big stacker and be injured again. Whiskey throttled at St. Louis, good thing Davi was there to stop him. Air wheelied into the oncoming lane at Daytona in his heat, again lucky. He just rides too far over the edge for too long. I'm glad to hear he's relatively OK after this crash, when he couldn't get up initially I feared the worst.
@323mx--I agree, Canard has had problems the last several races.. He slammed Millsaps after getting whiskey throttle, and then jumps off the track and completely into the other lane in Daytona--then this crash in Indy--and people want to blame Barcia??? Wow, Barcia hasnt done anything wrong in at least the last 2 seasons, and he still gets blames for nothing..Dean Wilson has done more dirty or aggressive things than Barcia in the last few seasons..
@The other posters who think this (medical condition report) is a trial to determine fault, this is not the place. This is a medical update on two gladiators of this sport. Please, try to show some respect and not drag blame into a very genuine and considerate (medical condition) update for those of us who care about the patients/riders, at this point.
Thank You...
@323mx~ I agree that Canard seemed to create his own problem in this situation. It looked to me like he was trying to correct himself to avoid disaster. Definitely not Barcia's fault. They both admitted that they did not touch. But I disagree that Canard is a dirty rider. He can be aggressive but who isn't when it comes to winning (and make no mistake about it, everyone of these top 7 guys are out there to win). Not sure why you think his fans think he, " can't do anythihg wrong?" Nobody trash talks Canard so I am a little surprised that you are going that direction. I am certain that "Everyone" is not so quick to blame Barcia.
not in canards case for thisone but are the tracks getting more difficult now? will we start seeing more crashes more along the likes of last year
Im just as guilty BUT when are we gonna start wearing chest protectors. A thin piece of cloth for a jersey does nothing. I think Trey wears one underneath but Dean does not
maybe its a good idea to start first half of season off with easy tracks let everyone get back in the groove of racing before more technical obstacles
Leave Bam Bam alone, replay after replay shows he did nothing wrong.
Glad to hear that Dean is not as bad as first reported and MAYBE could be back for Hangtown..Heal up quick!!
Glad to hear that Trey's injures are not what they looked like ..Could have been a lot worse...Trey will sit a couple races and clear the cob webs after that nasty looking get off ... Rest up for your return!!
Don't see any one at fault for either crash, both caused by small mistakes made by riders trying to ride a dirt bike at a level that is crazy fast, simply a racing incident, that happens in supercross...
PS After careful consider; My above post was (just my opinion) about this being a medical condition report.
Don't let me influence your activity in anyway...
Get well soon Deano, and Trey! Sorry to hear of your unfortunate accidents...
I'm in no way shape or form am I a barcia fan, but in this case he did nothing wrong. Those saying he scrubbed into canard have it backassward....it was trey who scrubbed hard, barcia even takes his hand off the bars to avoid getting hit. Either way, this looks bad for Honda and the teammates tc41 & jb51. Hope they can get through this and move forward....this has been a nightmarish season so far for the big red squad, what with reed, shorty, barcia, and canard being so inconsistent. I'm a huge reed fan but so far it's not looking too good for him.
@323MX
Calling Canard a dirty rider is a little extreme don't you think? I think there is an issue at Honda with how Barcia has been racing Canard lately. Remember two weeks ago Barcia stripping out Canards front wheel spokes with an aggressive move? It seems they always find each other on the track.
Everyone makes mistakes and they all want to win, I am a huge Canard fan and also a Barcia fan . I can't say I have ever heard Canard say a bad thing about anyone, on the other hand.. Barcia certainly has some growing up to do.
Not a good year for Mitch Payton's Pro Circuit team. In fact, this has got to be one of his worst years in Supercross. He must be fuming!!
I believe the pressure that he will unloaded on the team for outdoors will be immense.
season: over
sucks, tc41 was obviously concuss, he was so dizzy he couldnt sit up after that crash. happy to hear there better than worse.
have you guys noticed jb51 &tc41; always end up next to each other. they need to go practice with others
Did anyone watch the Barcia,Canard replay?It looked like Barcia took his left hand off of the bars.It looked like he move his left hand over to the throttle hand and then put it back before landing.I thought maybe he did that so that Canard wouldn't hit his arm in mid air.Has anyone else noticed this?
Bum deal for Wilson....I hate to say I told ya so...But I had mentioned in a post last week that after his Daytona performance, Wilson may try too hard and would succumb to the pressure and blow it....I certainly didnt want to see him get hurt, but I had feeling he would make a big mistake like we saw on saturday....Looked like he just went for it when he could have sat back and got the first lap jitters out....
My stomach dropped when Canard wrecked....when he appeared to be teeter tottering on his arm that was stuck underneath I was thinking it may be broken....luckily he is ok for the most part.....
I don't know what's wrong with these kids scrubbing when they are all bunched up in packs. Last week at Daytona TC almost took out RV's front wheel with a scrub, you would think with all the bike control these guys have they would know better.
First off get well Trey and Deaner Weaner.
Even my bloodshot eyes could see Barcia pulled a tear-off, not what you do if you think you are going to hit your teammate. This one is on Trey 100%. I bet Trey could have saved it on a 250f and Dean could have saved it if he didn't land on a "safety device".
Bet Canard is wishing he was wearing a 6D helmet like the Geico Honda guys.
I'm really surprised to see the injury report on Wilson. You see him get up and walk off the track on TV but we where there in person and he got back on the bike, rode one more lap, and even jumped the finished line double. Tough tough kid if he did that much damage.
A collapsed lung, that is some serious shit.. Can take him up to half a year before his breathing is at the same level or even longer. And a lot of nights sitting up sleeping. Poor guy. Trey Canard rides steady and smooth and still he seems to always be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Hope he will have more "luck" in the future.
@yzchris76 canard broke spokes when he ran it in on barcia, barcia ran him high in the next turn..... but canard flat out said it was when he hit barcia.
Glad to read that they guys are doing relatively well given how bad each crash looked. I was a little worried that Trey was hurt worse than reported. It took him a minute to gather his composure and even looked like he was struggling to move his lower body (camera panned off him immediately). Chances are the air was knocked out of him, but man looked horrible. Again, glad everyone is okay (for the most part). Heal soon guys.
GLAD they are BOTH better of than we first thought.
SAD and DISGUSTED with about 10 Barcia haters that instantly jumped on the "barcia was at fault" baloney
BOTH TC and JB are excellent , great and clean but aggressive riders that this sport LOVES. BOTH give 100% to win and that's what we want. They have two different personalities but they are both great and equal warriors on the track.
Has anyone else notice Canards crashes are ALWAYS a result of scrub? Way back to his shoulder on a 250, and that terrible broken Femur at Washougal. He gets the bike so sideways, sometimes he has trouble recovering it. I have seen him crash 5 times while scrubbing..
Still, he is one of my favorites, I hope he still reels off a win before the season is over.
deano will be back for the nationals if he didnt wreck his shoulder or back and thats what we are hearing right now. trey s crash was his own fault for scrubbin it when he shouldnt have,get well soon guys we need ya out there
Rick- I have noticed the same thing, and keep hoping he figures it out, too good a kid to not.
I originally thought Barcia had more to do with it than Canard, but I was way way off. Canard was the one who scrubbed and I was surprised to see that Barcia really didn't do anything at all other than be there (which he is certainly allowed to do). He simply pulled a tear-off and really seemed to not even know Canard came so close to clipping him. Apologies Mr. Bam.
Wilson is starting to show a proneness for getting injured. Add to the fact that he'll probalby only be a 5-8th place guy on the 450's and I don't see Wilson making it in the big boy class. Kid's overrated and whines too much. Not a fan.
Dont agree smee, never seen wilson as a supercross guy anyway, got hurt due to the fact he was tryin to make something happen quick as in previous races poor starts led to leaders getting away. If healed the kid will givem fits in the 450s hes a big kid anyhow for a 250f . Do think the media thing went to his head tho, IMO
Couldn't agree more smee113.....
Glad TC came away relatively unscathed, and that DW "only" had a broken rib and collapsed lung. I'm actually surprised he broke a rib. I thought maybe only a minor shoulder separation. If the original report had been true I was going to offer him some calcium supplements.
Bell might need to offer the other riders a class on how to fall and not get injured. He even knocked himself out cold and didn't get a concussion.
