For the second consecutive round, the HRC Honda rider will sit out due to a concussion.
Chase Sexton will remain sidelined throughout this Saturday’s third round of the 2023 Pro Motocross Championship at Thunder Valley as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a testing crash after Fox Raceway.
Sexton started the season with a second overall at Fox Raceway despite a big crash during the qualifying session. But another crash on Tuesday led him to a concussion that ruled him out of Hangtown, and now Thunder Valley, round three of the AMA Pro Motocross series.
“Unfortunately, Chase Sexton won’t be able to rejoin the squad yet, as he’s still experiencing issues from the concussion he suffered while testing after round one,” a statement from Honda read. “The team missed having the new AMA Supercross champ in the truck and is looking forward to having him back as soon as he feels better.”
Sexton is officially out of contention for the 450MX title. However, Honda HRC still has a chance to clinch the title at the end of the year for the first time since 2004, as Sexton`s teammate Jett Lawrence is the current leader with 22 points of advantage over Dylan Ferrandis.
