450MX
Jimmy Albertson
Comment: Albertson sat out of last weekend’s night show in San Diego after taking a digger on the same jump that caught both Mitchell Oldenburg and Jeremy Martin. Albertson said on his Instagram page that he’s thankful to be okay and was going to take it day by day until he felt 100 percent. He was riding during the week so we expect him to be back for Anaheim 2.
Mike Alessi – Stomach
Comment: Alessi cased a jump hard at A1 and missed San Diego. He’ll be back this weekend at A2.
Justin Barcia – Wrist
Comment: Barcia injured his wrist several weeks ago and suffered a fracture of his lunate bone along with some ligament damage. He’s out for A2.
Trey Canard – Shoulder
Comment: Canard crashed in practice at the opener and suffered a minor tear in his rotator cuff. Canard says the tear is minor and once the swelling goes down he should be cleared to race, but as of Thursday morning the team was still unsure if he’d be racing A2.
