WILSON MOST LIKELY OUT FOR SEASON
D
ean Wilson, of the Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna Team, will
be forced to miss most likely the
entire 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Moto-
cross Championship after suffer-
ing a knee injury while practicing
for the upcoming outdoor season
at Glen Helen Raceway, May 10.
He broke the news via Insta-
gram: Unfortunate news from
yesterday while testing for
outdoors at Glen Helen on a
crowded track I was passing
a slower rider and he moved
over mid air on me and I got
cross jumped. I hit his rear
wheel and put my leg out and
my foot stomped the ground
really hard to prevent me falling
as I did I heard my knee pop.
After MRI results I have torn my
ACL and will require surgery. I
can't believe this, just as I was
feeling good for outdoors and
ready for a fresh start with the
outdoor season and something
completely out of my control
like this happens. I'm Com-
pletely gutted. I'll do everything
in my power to come back from
this even stronger, whether I
remain where I'm at or do it
on my own. I know what I'm
capable of. Thanks everyone
for the support. CN
