JAKE WEIMER
UNDERGOES SURGERY
T
eam Tedder/Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jake
Weimer was carted off the track at the Detroit
Supercross following a grizzly crash with Trey Canard.
Weimer was knocked to the ground after Canard
accidentally landed on him, and while both riders
were injured in the crash, it was obvious that Weimer
received the brunt of the impact. After Canard's front
wheel hit Weimer in the upper-back/right shoulder
area, his jersey was torn from his body. The extent of
his injuries wasn't immediately clear, but it has since
been revealed that Weimer suffered a broken humer-
us (upper arm bone).
Sources at Kawasaki say that Weimer has remained
in Detroit following the accident, where he underwent
surgery to repair the broken humerus on Monday,
March 23. Weimer is planning to return to California
after he is released from the hospital in Detroit.

INJURY SIDELINES CANARD
H
onda/HRC's Trey Canard,
who is currently second
in the 2015 Monster Energy
AMA Supercross Series, will sit
out the remaining five rounds
to recover from a broken arm
suffered at the March 21 Detroit
Supercross.
Canard suffered the injury in
the first Semi when a rider in
front of him—Jake Weimer—came
up short over a jump and he
landed on him. Canard suffered
a fractured left arm. He plans
to follow up with his personal
physician later this week, at
which point a treatment plan will
be determined and an expected
recovery time set.
"It's really a bummer to have
my series end this way, espe-
cially because I'd been having
my best season yet until this
point," Canard said. "It was
a bad crash, but it could've
been worse, and I hope [Jake]
Weimer is okay. I'm disap-
pointed for the team because
they've been working so hard
for me all year. Even though the
championship was probably out
of reach, we got a couple wins
and I think we could've finished
second in points. Injuries are
never fun, but there's nothing to
do now but get this taken care
of and try to be healthy for the
outdoor series. I appreciate all
the support from my fans, and I
look forward to seeing everyone
as soon as possible."
Trey Canard suffered a broken arm
at the Detroit Supercross. It is not
yet known when he might return to
action, but he will sit out the rest of
the Supercross series.
