HRC Honda have revealed Chance Hymas suffered a dislocated shoulder in his first turn crash in the 250 main event at A2.
Honda posted in their press release:
Hymas’ 250SX main event was over almost as quickly as it started, as another rider took him down in turn 1. The Idaho native put his hand out to break his fall, causing a dislocation of his left shoulder that put him out of the race.
After his 250SX West main-event crash, Hymas headed straight to the Alpinestars Medical Unit, where his dislocated shoulder was put back in place. Hymas underwent an MRI in Southern California on Sunday, and although results had not been confirmed at the time of publication, it seems unlikely that Chance will be able to participate in the next three races.

Lars Lindstrom said: “It was a bittersweet night for the team, after a great start to the season. It’s always extra frustrating when the riders are injured by something that wasn’t within their control, but that’s how it goes in racing sometimes. We are hoping that Chance’s shoulder injury is non-surgical, and that he’ll be able to get back to racing ASAP. Hunter has been absolutely lights-out, surpassing everyone’s expectations, and we couldn’t be prouder and happier for him. Our main goal is to make sure that we’re able to help him get the most out of the bike and himself to get that first supercross win, and to get the best result possible, every single weekend.”
Meanwhile Hunter Lawrence said on another great ride to second place: “It was a good day—the battle with Eli [Tomac] was cool! I was behind Chase [Sexton] and Jason [Anderson], and I know that the first 10 minutes of these races are always such a super-intense, high pace, so I was just trying to stay in the hunt. I know I have the legs to go the distance, so I was just trying to give myself the best shot, stay in it in the beginning and move forward. I believed that I could get there, I knew I had some good lines and was feeling good. I was trying to up the intensity towards the closing stage, and I looked up and there was like six minutes left; I was like, ‘Alright, let’s empty the tank.’ I would’ve liked to see how the last two laps unfolded had there not been traffic with the two lapped riders. It’s been my best start of the season for Supercross, which is what I wanted to do. We’ve still got so many races to go. It’s been some really good racing.”
Listen to Hymas below as he talks about tough time he went through mentally after his third A…now he has another injury to deal with. We wish him the best!
