Pierce Brown – KNEE | OUT

Austin Forkner – INTERNAL INJURIES | OUT

Comment: Forkner is back on the bike after sustaining pancreas, liver, kidney, and spleen injuries, but is out for the season.

Mason Gonzales – “A BIT SORE” | IN

Comment: If you only saw the second half of Gonzales’ crash at WW Ranch you’d think he’d leapt from the grandstands. But in reality he’d just ejected from his bike over a huge jump. We checked in with him earlier this week and although he’s “A bit sore,” he’s in for Thunder Valley.

Well this is what ended my day at @wwmotox. There was a gnarly kicker at the top of this jump that Clearly didn’t see. Very lucky to walk away from this one.

RJ Hampshire – BANGED UP | IN

Comment: Hampshire dropped out of orbit without a bike to soak up the blow last week at WW Ranch when he went over the bars on the same monstrous jump that Gonzales did. Miraculously, Hampshire emerged without serious injury and will be racing this weekend at Thunder Valley.

Scary one yesterday! Caught a rock at the top of the face and there wasn’t much I could do. Already coming into the weekend a bit injured from Millville, I was managing that first moto pretty well till that. Huge thank you to @teamdrg and @rockstarhusky for making that second moto happen! I’ll be good to go for Colorado and get back on the box 👊🏼👍🏼

Welp @wwmotox was my last round in @promotocross I’m going into off season early to get my shoulder fixed up and ready for next season, but on the positive side I ran top 10 for over half the moto and was feeling solid until the shoulder had enough, but it is what it is will come out swinging year 2😈

Tevin Tapia - NECK | OUT
