Malcolm Stewart Sidelined
M
alcolm Stewart's return to
motocross has been put
on hold. The Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna Team rider revealed
that he injured his knee at the St.
Louis Supercross round and will
sit out the first half of the upcom-
ing Lucas Oil AMA Pro Moto-
cross Championship.
"I sprained my knee in an awk-
ward crash at the St. Louis Su-
percross, but I managed to re-
hab it and ride through the pain
well enough to make it through
the remaining rounds feeling
pretty good," said Stewart. "I
was really looking forward to re-
turning to the MX Nationals this
summer, but some things out of
my control happened in the Salt
Lake City main event and in that
crash, I further injured my knee.
This has forced me to sit out at
least the first half of the season,
but I will continue to work hard
at the Baker's Factory in the
meantime to make a full recov-
ery, and I look forward to seeing
all y'all fans this summer!"
Teammate Dean Wilson will
also miss the first part of the sea-
son as he continues to recover
from injuries sustained at the St.
Louis Supercross, as well. Shane
McElrath will fill-in for Wilson
aboard the FC 450 Rockstar Edi-
tion. Joining him in the 250MX
lineup will be RJ Hampshire,
Stilez Robertson and Jalek Swoll,
who are all healthy and ready to
contest the 2022 title this sum-
mer.
