Reigning AMA Supercross Champion Jett Lawrence will most likely sit out the rest of the supercross series due to a torn ACL that was injured in the third Main Event of the Glendale round of the championship – the first Triple Crown race of the series. The 21-year-old Honda HRC Progressive rider was diagnosed as having a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee and will undergo surgery.
Lawrence dabbed his right foot in a corner to maintain his balance, and immediate pulled off the track in pain. An initial visit to the Alpinestars Mobile Medical unit didn’t reveal any serious injury, but an MRI scan today revealed that Lawrence had suffered a torn ACL, as well as a small tear to his meniscus. He is scheduled to undergo an operation in Orange County, California on February 4.
“I found out today that I tore my ACL and am having surgery tomorrow to repair it,” said the Aussie ace. “I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be able to return, but rehabbing will be my new fulltime job, so I hope to see you guys as soon as possible! I’m super-bummed to let the fans down and I can’t wait to get back out there.”
The Honda HRC Progressive team is back in action this weekend at the Tampa, Florida, AMA Supercross round, with Hunter Lawrence campaigning the 450SX division. The event marks the opening round of the 250SX East series - Chance Hymas will make a late decision on whether to participate, as he continues to recover from his own ACL surgery.
