Musquin looked like he had Wilson and Osborne covered ... until he parked it in the soft stuff. Looked like he folded around his bars like a lawn chair and bounced his helmet off his front fender ... I was hoping he would make the podium.

Yeah he took a hard hit, same section that caught Stewart. Disappointed about his points loss but he was riding very well beforehand and most importantly he's healthy.

He's started to really get into his stride,impressive speed this week and looking pretty agressive with that pass on Rattray,I hope he grabs a win sometime and carries it on outdoors

I think he was riding fast... then too fast. I think what happened to him is what would happen to anyone that tried to over ride that track. It was very unforgiving if you tried to ride it too fast

looked like he had on a chest protector? if so, im sure it helped distribute that impact over a wider area and maybe kept him from being even more seriously injured. i wish the guy well.

Yeah, that was brutal. Doing a triple section and just coming to a dead stop in the loam dirt. Ouch.

I was watching the slo-mo after the race,the Suzuki of Izzi or Davalos pushes him before the turn and he can't lean the bike over,Seely is in front and can't turn in over Musquin,if they had gone down any earlier the whole pack would probably have piled up,it could have been huge,shame when some of the top guys go out early on,Musquin came back impressively,especially with the relative lack of SX racing,he's taking to it very well indeed

He hit that triple that Wilson wasn't able to do several times. Just a mistake.
