Zingg died from injuries sustained in a crash
during the first 250B moto at the Mammoth
Motocross on June 29. The 16-year-old Califor

Team Green stated on Zingg's passing: "It
is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that
Kawasaki Team Green mourns the passing of
rider Aidan Zingg, who lost his life following
injuries sustained during a crash at Mammoth
Motocross in Mammoth Lakes, California. At
16 years old, Zingg was a promising young tal

ent and dedicated rider who was known for his
polite demeanor and impressive results in the
amateur ranks. Zingg's spirit will continue to live
on amongst Team Green and the racing com-
munity."

RedBud Return

hase Sexton is rumored to be returning to Pro Motocross
at the RedBud National, July 5. Sexton's mechanic, Jade

saying, "We are ready for America's Birthday at RedBud. Really
looking forward to having Chase Sexton back at the races and
being back on the line enjoying what we do!"
Sexton has only raced one moto this season, the first moto of
round one at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, where he crashed
early in the race. He walked off the track but hasn't raced since.
Sexton and the team have been tight-lipped about the injuries
he sustained that kept him from racing for so long.

to make his
