OLDENBURG TO YAMALUBE/STAR RACING
M
itchell Oldenburg has found a new home at
Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha for the 2018-
2019 motocross/supercross seasons.
Oldenburg moves over from the Troy Lee De-
signs Red Bull KTM Team and will stay in the 250
class for at least another two years. It appears
now that the entire team will be made up of Aaron
Plessinger, Colt Nichols, Justin Cooper, Dylan
Ferrandis and now Oldenburg. Mitchell Harrison
was cut from the Star team.
Injuries have kept Oldenburg out of the spot-
light for most of the year, but when he was
healthy, the Minnesota native was a consistent
threat to podium. CN
MILLSAPS INJURED
D
avi Millsaps, who just signed with the factory
Yamaha team for 2018, suffered injuries while
testing at the Yamaha test track in Corona, Cali-
fornia, October 6. Millsaps was scheduled to race
the Monster Energy Cup but that was scratched.
Millsaps, who was previously a member of the
Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/ WPS/ KTM team,
suffered a broken elbow and a concussion. The
elbow injury will require surgery, which has report-
edly been postponed due to the concussion.
Millsaps updated his condition via his Instagram
account late last week: "Last Friday at the test
track I took a hard fall. I was knocked out and
suffered a severe concussion and broken elbow. I
was rushed to the hospital and was released Mon-
day [October 9]. To be honest, don't remember
much. My brain took a really hard
hit. I'm following up with special-
ists now to move forward with my
recovery. Thanks to everyone's well
wishes and prayers. I appreciate the
concern. When things like this hap-
pen there's so much speculation.
I've had my share of injuries but
when it comes to your brain, it adds
a whole new level of perspective.
I'm thankful for my family, friends
and teams support as I get through
this since we have all been on a
great track this off season." CN
Mitchell Oldenburg moves over to the Yamalube/Star
Racing Yamaha for 2018-2019.
