After going undefeated to this point, looks like #1 of Colton Facciotti has went down and brought out a red flag. Let's hope he's okay.

(read it on directmotocross.com's twitter)

Maybe concussion. He had a really bad cut over his eye and was taken to emergency room at Calgary hospital. On twitter someone said it was the worst crash they ever saw. Hopefully not. This sport sucks sometimes.

Confirmed on twitter is a bad concussion. Hopefully, he'll be back soon, but concussions are really tricky. Klatt won the first moto (he was fighting tooth and nail with Facciotti when Facciottis went down). Klatt destroying everybody else in the 2nd moto, Kiniry in second way, way back.

He was definitely out cold for a considerable period, and he folded himself up pretty well.

They'll watch his blood pressure and basic vital signs overnight. Hopefully, he walks out tomorrow morning with nothing more than a lot of stiffness and a helluva headache.

Sure did scare the shit out of everyone, though.

Get well soon Fastoitti!

I hope he takes alot of time off and makes sure he is 100% ok. I had a bad concussion a couple years ago that had me in a coma for almost 2 days. My head wasnt right for almost 6 months with mood swings and depression.

It's so cold up here and the tracks are so icy that we've got studs on our knobs Wink Not as painful as it sounds !
