Tye Simmonds Out for Thunder Valley


JDR/J-Star/KTM
rider Tye Simmonds will miss the fifth round of the AMA Pro Motocross
Championship Series this
weekend in Lakewood, CO after being diagnosed with rhinosinusitis
and bronchitis earlier this week.



This is
Simmonds’ second bout with bronchitis this year. He also suffered
from the illness mid-way through the Supercross season. “I am
taking this weekend off to rest and recover. I have also scheduled
more intensive tests for next week that will hopefully determine why
I have been so susceptible to contracting this illness,” remarked
Simmonds.



“We
will wait to hear from the doctors and make our decision on when Tye
should return to racing based upon those results. We definitely don’t
want to jeopardize his health by sending him to a race when he is not
100% physically,” remarked JDR/J-Star/KTM Team Manager Nathan
Ramsey.
