Things didn´t go as planned for Dylan Walsh. Unfortunately for the New Zealander rider, a crash during qualifying ended his night early and probably much of his season, as Dylan went under surgery to repair a small intestine laceration.
The Hostgrindstone Kawasaki Race Team stated on social media:
“A1 started off well with Dylan showing some good speed in the first practice. Unfortunately had a crash in the second practice which resulted in a laceration in his small intestine. He underwent surgery on Saturday night and is now recovering at UCI medical center. He will be there a few more days and then will be able to start his road to recovery and hopes to be healed up and ready to race for the last half of the West Coast rounds. Until then the team Host Grindstone will regroup this week and make some plans for the next rounds to come.”
