450MX
Justin Barcia – Wrist
Comment: Barcia injured his wrist before the season, suffering a fracture of his lunate bone along with some ligament damage. He’s out for Phoenix.
Justin Bogle – Lungs
Comment: Bogle had a big crash during the week before A2 and had another at A2 after nabbing the holeshot in his heat. He was having trouble breathing afterward, and after getting checked up he learned he’d bruised his lungs. By the way, we heard Bogle was wearing a chest protector under his jersey, but this hit was gnarly enough to hurt anyway. Could have been worse, though. Bogle will miss Phoenix but the team expects him back in Oakland.
Trey Canard – Shoulder
