Dean Wilson, the defending Australian Supercross Champion, was injured while practicing last week and will miss the remaining rounds of SMX, WSX and Aus-X Championships. A derailed chain caused the Quad Lock Honda rider to go over the bars, resulting in a broken shoulder.
“Scary day yesterday,” Wilson said online. “Everything was going great at the track, as I had a lap and a half left and I was done. Unfortunately, my chain derailed after I tripled on a tabletop and was sent over the bars violently. Broken shoulder, and I have to say I’m lucky that’s all I did. I’m gutted, as I felt like I was in a good spot and sitting second in WSX and was looking forward to Aus-X Supercross.”
Wilson was called up to race the SuperMotocross Playoff rounds as a wild card for the Quad Lock Honda team. He’ll miss the final round of the SMX Playoffs as well as the upcoming rounds of World Supercross.CN
