RJ Hampshire, Cameron McAdoo Cleared to Ride Again, Return to Racing TBD

The good news is RJ Hampshire and Cameron McAdoo are both back riding again. The bad news is there is not yet a hard date set for either to return to racing. Hampshire, the 2024 250SX West Region Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion, was hoping to carry his title momentum into the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, but he injured his wrist in the Thursday media ride day ahead of the motocross opener. According to his Instagram, he hit a large rock in a high-speed section that caused him to crash hard, injuring his wrist.

The gritty rider was hoping for a miracle and return to racing at the RedBud National in early July, but that was not the case as his Perilunate dislocation and fractured scaphoid had not yet fully healed. Hampshire was looking at a return to racing at the Unadilla National, but he’s not ready to get back at behind the gates just yet. He is back riding but needs to “take it day by day” to see when he can return. He’ll sit the weekend out and assess how he feels coming into the Budds Creek National next weekend. At the moment, Hampshire sits 14th in the 250SMX SuperMotocross World Championship standings, inside that top 20 cutoff to not have to race all three last chance qualifier races (top 30 250SMX standings below). Below is his full update.
