Husqvarna Factory Racing regretfully announces that Jason Anderson sustained a
broken clavicle a minor AC separation this week during practice and will be
unable to race the upcoming Muddy Creek MX National and several subsequent
rounds. Anderson’s clavicle, commonly known as the collar bone, is broken
in three different places. He will receive treatment this coming week.
Due to the severity of the multiple fractures to his clavicle, recovery
time for his injury is an estimated 6-8 weeks.
“Unfortunately,
injuries are a part of our sport and you never want to see any rider on any
team get hurt. Jason has spent his entire pro career with me and this is
his first injury that will keep him out of competition in six years.
Considering the severity of the crash we feel fortunate it is only the
collar bone which will require surgery and a minor AC separation; that
according to his doctors will heal on its own over the coming weeks,” said Team Manager, Bobby Hewitt.
Anderson has shown he has the speed, talent, and determination
to stand tall on the podium. Coming off of a second-place-finish high at the
High Point MX National, the news is crushing to the athlete, but he will remain
optimistic.
"I'm really bummed about this injury. I feel like I was
building some momentum and last weekend's 2nd was the best outdoor
overall of my career. I feel pretty lucky however after one of the worst
crashes of my life and not missing a race in 6 years. Sometimes these things
happen. I can only stay positive and see how the recovery goes. I'm hoping to
come back before the Nationals are over," explained
Anderson.
The team will move on to the next round at Muddy Creek Raceway
in Blountville, TN where riders Zach Osborne, Martin Davalos, and Christophe
Pourcel will represent team Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing.
The entire Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team wishes
El Hombre a quick recovery.
