Stewart Sidelined T he Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Team announced before the Houston Supercross that Malcolm Stewart will be out of action for "an extended duration." Stewart sustained a knee injury while practicing before last week's Anaheim 2 Supercross. "It was very tough to receive the news that Malcolm will need to undergo knee surgery," said Team Manager Nathan Ramsey. "He has worked so hard to be in a position to win races this year and I truly believe he was ready. The Rock - star Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing program will support him in every way that we can through his recovery, and we can't wait to get him back on track and back at the races." CN VOLUME ISSUE FEBRUARY , P25 Malcolm Stewart underwent surgery to his knee and will be out of action indefinitely. Janisch Joins Wally Brown Racing W ally Brown Racing has recruited 2022 Mission Production Twins Champion Jesse Janisch to compete in the 2023 Progressive Ameri- can Flat Track series. Wally Brown Racing will step up to the premier Mis- sion SuperTwins category after developing the WBR KTM 890 Duke into a two- time Mission Production Twins race winner with James Rispoli at the controls a year ago. This season, WBR and Janisch will run a limited schedule with continued sup - port from KTM North Ameri- ca. The effort will utilize both the established WBR KTM 890 Duke and the all-new WBR KTM 790 Duke as KTM shifts its focus to the 790 platform to prepare for the 2024 rules package. "I've been able to witness the triumphs of the WBR program at the expense of my own successes in 2022," Janisch said, "As they say–if you can't beat them, join them! I cannot wait to jump on the new 790 platform that they've been hard at work on this winter and see where we shake out at our first round." CN Jesse Janisch will compete in select Mission SuperTwins classes for Wally Brown Racing.
