Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki`s Austin Forkner and Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas rider Pierce Brown will make their season debut this weekend at round 7 of the AMA Pro Motocross series in Spring Creek.
Forkner was involved in a start-straight incident during Anaheim’s season-opening 250SX West main event in January, with a right knee injury sustained in the fall ruling him out of the remainder of the 2023 Monster Energy Supercross Championship. He was also absent from the first six rounds of this year’s Pro Motocross Championship as he continued to recover and regain strength, now set to join teammates Jo Shimoda, Seth Hammaker and Ryder DiFrancesco at round seven at Millville.
Brown, who broke his hand in a practice crash during the Monster Energy Supercross Championship, opted to go in for surgery on a torn meniscus sustained earlier in the year, forcing him to miss the remaining supercross and opening six 250MX rounds.
