Troy Lee Design GasGas has been struck by injuries this season. Now the team offered an update about Justin Barcia and his teammates.

Mosiman had been able to return in time for the 250MX season-opener at Fox Raceway and recorded a high of 10th in the second moto of the season, but an incident in Round 2 at Hangtown has resulted in injuries to his right shoulder, which will require surgery. He will miss the remainder of Pro Motocross, but is hoping to potentially be back on track for the SMX playoffs.

The positive news is that Brown has been working hard in the background preparing for his first appearance of the outdoors, set to be reunited with his MC 250F Factory Edition. Almost completely recovered from a broken hand sustained while training in the lead-up to Pro Motocross, Brown is scheduled to get back behind the gates within the next three-to-four weeks.

Meanwhile, Justin Barcia underwent surgery on a broken collarbone and also injured his shoulder and ribs in his Nashville crash, but had been due to return shortly. Complications will now see his recovery time extended and the target is to return toward the end of the 450MX series.

With three riders out, this weekend at Thunder Valley the team will only focus on fill-in Caden Braswell in the 250 class. Braswell finished 19th overall in both Fox Raceway and Hangtown as well and he is motivated to keep improving on his rookie season.
