At the second round of the Canadian MX Triple Crown Series at Lethbridge MX in Alberta, Canada, reigning 450cc Champion Dylan Wright had a scary crash in the second moto. Wright started 1-2 for second overall at the season opener and entered round two tied in points with KTM’s Jess Pettis, who went 2-1 for the overall win at the opener. At the second round, Wright claimed the moto win in the first race of the day then had a scary crash at high speed in the second race while leading. The Honda Canada/GDR/Fox Racing team provided an update on Wright’s condition, as well as Tyler Medaglia, who also went down, in a first turn crash in the start of the first 250cc moto.
The team posted the following update:
Extremely tough weekend at the track for @dylan.wright9 and @t_medaglia as both suffered injuries at round 2 of @triplecrownseries
DYLAN UPDATE: after winning Moto 1, Dylan suffered an enormous get-off while leading Moto 2. The high speed crash caused injuries to the lung, ribs, heart, and shoulder, along with a concussion. Dylan is currently in a hospital in Lethbridge and is currently out indefinitely. We will update again on Dylan’s health status when we have more information.
TYLER UPDATE: after passing concussion protocol this week for his lap 1 crash in Calgary, Tyler was involved in another first turn crash in Moto 1 at Lethbridge. Tyler did continue to race but has to pull out shortly after due to major pain and discomfort. Tyler is being re-evaluated this week and the current goal is to return for round 4 at Gopher Dunes on July 7 giving him close to a month to recover.
Wishing Dylan and Tyler both a speedy recovery.
