Just as he was getting back to his true form RJ Hampshire fell ill last weekend with food poisoning forcing him to pull out of the event, and now the American has been injured during the week and is now forced back to the sidelines.
The factory Husqvarna rider said: “One thing after another! Got back on the bike yesterday after getting over being sick. I Slid over this small jump and had a slow/awkward fall that caused me to plant my foot. When I planted it the end of the handlebars came down right on top of my boot, splitting the buckles. Broke two of the metatarsals and ones pretty displaced. Bummed on how it’s gone the last 4 months, sometimes it comes in waves. I’ll rebuild and get where I know I can be. Thank you to the ones that support me ♥️”
