Zach Bell – Head
Comment: Bell underwent an MRI and CT scan and doctors found out he had “blood around the brain” and a “pretty big size hematoma on the brain.” Doctors told Bell the expected recovery time is seven months to a year.
I believe all the racers have baseline tests done before the season so that accurate evaluations may be performed by the medical team at the event. After reading Eddie's comments it would appear unlikely that Zach suffered a concussion at that particular event.
edit- I forgot to say that I wish Bell the best in recovery and hope he can stay healthy no matter what he does in his future endeavors.
Bob sometimes people move because they're knocked out. They moan and dont really respond to you. It takes them a while to come to. Casillas would of known considering how quick he got there. And sometimes guys that aren't knocked lay there and don't move and focus on just trying to fill their lungs with air. Which he probably couldn't do after that impact. But you should rely on a medical professional and the rider. Zach woukdnt lie and say "nope never lost conciousness. "
If he was or was not knocked out we will never know. Is it possible to be knocked out cold and not have a concussion?

"It's a solid move for 51FIFTY as we continue to grow entering our fifth year as a team," explains team manager, Craig Monty. "Zach certainly has the speed, anyone who watches him knows that, and we can't wait for Anaheim 1."
"I'm fired up to be part of the 51FIFTY team," says Bell. "The program is strong and from the first day I rode the practice bike, I adapted right away to the YZ. As a team we have the same realistic goals and, personally, it's great having confidence in the bike, team staff, and total program. I feel this can be a break-out year for me and just ready to keep moving forward."
After winning the 2012 AMA Horizon Award, Bell made his debut with GEICO Honda at the Southwick National. In his three-plus seasons as a professional Bell has been hampered by injuries and crashes, including one the scariest crashes in SX history, when a scrub went wrong at the 2013 250SX East Region opener.
After two-plus seasons with GEICO Honda, Bell signed with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna last season, but missed all but one round of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross due to a head injury. When we last checked in with him over the summer, Bell pegged his recovery at seven months to a year.
