Rockstar Energy Racing Husqvarna’s Christophe Pourcel has been ruled out for the final round of the FIM World Motocross Championship this weekend at Glen Helen due to a prior rib injury, he announced on Instagram.
Pourcel, who signed an extension with the team through 2017 this off-season, said he expects to be ready for the Monster Energy Cup.
Unfortunately, I won't be racing the @mxgp this weekend. After my crash in Unadilla, I had a lot of pain in my ribs for the last two races. After the season I got a CT that showed I had cracked my rib. We decided to take the time and let it heal, and I look forward to being ready for @monsterenergycup
Pourcel's teammate, Jason Anderson, is still expected to race this weekend.
