IN THE WIND P50 Redondi Suffers Broken Ankle R ockstar Energy Husqvarna Off-Road Team rider Giacomo Redondi will be out of action for four to eight weeks after suffer- ing a broken ankle while training in Southern California, January 31. As a result, the former WORCS Champion will sit out the next several rounds of the 2020 WORCS Championship. "After the first round of WORCS [in Primm, Nevada], I was feeling really good and really comfortable on the bike," Redondi said, "and I was gaining more confidence about my riding style and my speed. I went to the moto track and the feeling was good, the speed was really good and then the crash happened. I'm going to try to make a really good rehab and hoping to not lose too much time, but I'm already looking forward to getting back and to try to be on the podium again." The Italian finished third in Primm and was considered a championship contender. CN Blose Sidelined With Injuries C hris Blose of the FXR/Chaparral Honda Racing Team reported on Instagram that the injuries he suffered at the Glendale Supercross in Arizona will keep him laid up for a while. Blose was one of the many victims in one of the track's whoop sections. Blose was competing in the 450SX class when he went down, suffering four fractured ribs, a dislocated wrist, a fracture to his femur and a small laceration to his liver. The wrist injury, he said, will require surgery. Blose's intentions were to compete in the 250SX East Championship and the 450SX races on the West Coast. It is not known exactly how long he'll be out of action. CN Chris Blose suffered multiple injuries after crashing in the treacherous Glendale Supercross whoops. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's Giacomo Redondi will miss several WORCS rounds after suffering an ankle injury while training.
