PEICK UNDERGOES
SURGERY
W
eston Peick recently underwent surgery on his
broken foot that he broke en route to a fourth-
place finish at the Phoenix Supercross, January 10.
The AutoTrader.com/Toyota/JGRMX Yamaha team
rider tried riding the Anaheim II Supercross a week
later but reinjured the foot. According to team man-
ager Jeremy Albrecht, the surgery went well and he
is expected to miss at least four to six weeks before
returning to action.
"He went to a specialist that Joe (Gibbs, team
owner) thinks is the best and he ended up having
surgery on Monday (January 19) and basically re-
moved the piece. We'll know more on his recovery
after his first evaluation next week."

WILSON OUT WITH INJURY
R
ed Bull KTM's Dean Wilson suffered yet anoth-
er setback in his racing career after suffering a
knee injury while practicing on Thursday, January
22, just prior to the Oakland Supercross.
After a slow start to the 2015 Monster Energy
AMA Supercross Series, Wilson appeared to be
gaining momentum when he suffered the injury. He
is scheduled to undergo surgery the week of Janu-
ary 26-30.
Wilson broke the news via his Instagram ac-
count: "As my results haven't been the greatest, I
was excited to keep building my
results better and better each
weekend. Yesterday was one of
the toughest days I have had in
my career. Just a normal Thurs-
day training in the middle of my
moto when I made a mistake at the KTM test
track. I am so gutted and disappointed to say
that I have torn my ACL and MCL and will be
getting surgery next week. Yesterday, while I
was on the way to the hospital looking out the
window at the mountains I was contemplating
on quitting and just get a real job and live a
normal life. It just seems to be a continuous
streak lately and the disappointment is just killing
me as a person. But I know how much I am capable
of achieving and how much I love this sport when
things are going good. But sometimes it can just be
so cruel. I have the best sponsors and people that
I can't thank enough for their love and loyal sup-
port. And thanks to all my fans for the support too.
I wish I could be racing this weekend. But God has
another plan for me."
Wilson was 14
th
in the 450-class standings when
he suffered the injury.
