onster Energy/Pro Circuit/
Kawasaki's Dean Wilson is
already in healing mode after suf-
fering a terrible gash to the back
of his knee when he crashed
while running fifth in the second
moto at the Glen Helen National
Motocross on May 24. Luck-
ily, the injury isn't quite as bad
as first feared, but it's still pretty
serious and it is not yet known
when he will be able to get back
on the track again.
"It all is kind of a blur because
it happened so fast," said Wilson.
"I just got kicked off my Kawa-
saki KX250F coming down one
of the hills and in that process
managed to have something cut
my knee open pretty good. I'm
in a lot of pain, but it looks like
I avoided hitting any ligaments,
tendons, or arteries. I'm crushed
right now because I'm not sure
what this will mean for the rest of
the season, but I'm stitched up
and looking to get back out there
as soon as I can. We'll see how it
plays out."
