ROBERT
BROKEN
F
MF KTM's Taylor Robert has
to put his racing on hold for
a while. It turns out that an injury
he suffered back in December is
more serious than first thought.
Robert injured his wrist while
practicing but no major damage
was found at the time, though
pain persisted. After further eval-
uation, doctors recently found
a broken scaphoid bone in the
wrist and he will now have to un-
dergo surgery, which is planned
for March 3.
This will force Robert to miss
the last three rounds of the FIM
SuperEnduro Series, as well as
the first two rounds of the AMA
EnduroCross Series, which gets
underway on March 6.
