Musquin Out Indefinitely R ed Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin won't be racing again anytime soon as he continues to recover from a wrist injury sustained while training before the second Supercross round in January. After returning to his home country of France earlier this month for further medical evaluations, Musquin's surgeon de- termined that the 33-year-old has a broken scaphoid bone in his left wrist. As a result, and considering a past injury, it has been decided that allowing his wrist time to heal naturally without rushing the process is the ideal method of recovery. Ian Harrison, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager, said, "It's always disappointing to have one of our riders get injured so early on in the season, especially given the caliber of Marvin and the way he was riding coming into the season. But injuries happen and the last thing we want is for him to rush the healing process and return to racing too soon. We respect his wishes to seek further consultation with his doctors in France and he is now on the path to making a full recovery."
