Team USA’s MX2 pick, Chance Hymas, won’t be racing until the MXoN after pulling out of the SMX series to concentrate on his healthy for the biggest race of his career after hurting his knee and aggravating his ACL injury last week.
Honda have released a statement saying: “After aggravating a previous injury to his left knee at the SuperMotocross opener, @chancehymas_ and Team Honda HRC Progressive have made the difficult decision to have him sit out the remainder of the SMX series. Hymas has been riding with a torn ACL all season, but he has been able to compete at a high level. However, he suffered a bone bruise in the second moto at Charlotte and experienced discomfort during yesterday’s practice sessions.
“Based on past experience, the team is confident Hymas will be ready to compete at a high level in a matter of weeks. The focus is to be totally prepared to race for Team USA at the Motocross of Nations on October 6.”
