Unadilla didn´t go according to the plans for some riders who ended up hitting the floor in the ninth round of the AMA Pro Motocross series, resulting in injuries. Now we learned that Cooper Webb, Jo Shimoda, and Casey Cochran will miss the next round in Budds Creek.
Cooper Webb – Thumb
A day that began with promise ended in near-disaster for Cooper Webb in his return to the Pro Motocross Championship. The Star Racing Yamaha rider crashed in the second moto, causing a sprained thumb. Webb will miss Budds Creek but is expected to be back for the season finale in Ironman.
Jo Shimoda – Collarbone
Shimoda snared a fourth-place start and was quickly up to second. He rode in that position—regularly challenging for the lead—for much of the race, until he went down in a corner with just four laps remaining. Although it was essentially a tip-over, the incident was awkward enough that it resulted in a broken collarbone for the Japanese rider, who was forced to withdraw. Meanwhile, Hymas started the second moto, but the effects of his moto 1 crash were such that he pulled out at about the one-third mark.
Casey Cochran – Wrist
Casey Cochran’s day was impacted by a crash in the final outing, unfortunately causing him to DNF the moto. Luckily, nothing is broken, but he suffered some deep lacerations to his arm
