Fonseca Out Of Anaheim II
Paul Carruthers | January 18, 2002
Honda Racing’s Ernesto Fonseca won’t race in round three of the EA Sports Supercross Series in Anaheim, California, tomorrow night after spraining his right arm in the San Diego Supercross last weekend.
Fonseca crashed in practice last week at Qualcomm Stadium, injuring a ligament in his right elbow ligament. The injury will cause him to miss Anaheim II tomorrow night.
“The pain wasn’t so bad,” said Fonseca in a press release. “I had a tough time with arm pump after the crash and it was difficult controlling the throttle. The doctor decided that we sit out San Diego and Anaheim to let the area heal. I plan on returning to race action in Phoenix next week.”
Fonseca first injured his right arm in a practice crash sustained while testing a few months ago. Fonseca will be present at this weekend’s Anaheim Supercross and will be signing autographs for his fans, according to the release.
