Dean Wilson returns for Unadilla
By TMX Archives on 6th Aug 15
With three rounds left in the 2015 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, Dean Wilson will make his season debut at the Red Bull Unadilla National on Saturday. It will be his first race since tearing his ACL and MCL back in January.
This will also be Wilson's first Lucas Oil Pro Motocross race with Red Bull KTM, who he signed a deal with in the offseason, and just his third career race in the 450MX Class. Wilson previously attempted to move up to the 450 Class outdoors in 2013 but suffered a season-ending injury after the first two rounds, then returned to the 250 Class last year.
The 2011 250MX champion posted on Instagram that he's "excited to be heading to [Unadilla] and "happy with how I have been feeling on the bike."
Check out the video he posted a few days ago to see Wilson getting in some practice on the bike.
After fielding just one 450 Class rider - Ryan Dungey - for the first nine rounds, the Red Bull KTM rig will be a lot fuller this week. In addition to Wilson returning from injury, his fellow Scotsman Shaun Simpson - who just won the MXGP race at Lommel this past weekend - will join the team in a one-off deal for Unadilla.
