Newly-crowned AMA Motocross Champion Ricky Carmichael is being flown back to Florida after crashing out of the opening moto at today’s final-round AMA Motocross Championship round at Glen Helen Raceway in California. Carmichael suffered injuries to his shoulder as he led Kawasaki’s James Stewart.
It is not yet know if he will be fit for the Motocross of Nations at Matterley Basin in Winchester, England on September 24th.
At 01.45 GMT, Carmichael’s Makita Suzuki Team Manager Roger DeCoster told the Team Suzuki Press Office: “Ricky was in the lead and had just passed Stewart and seemed to lose the front end. He has hurt his shoulder and is already on the plane back to Florida. He is in big pain but we will not know the extent of his injuries until tomorrow morning after he has seen his doctor.”
