Pierce Brown out.

What happened?

Broken Hand and torn Meniscus

Has he ever completed a season without missing a race?

Faaak!

Dammit.

That sucks. It seems like every year he’s about to have a breakout year but always ends up crashing out. Bummer. 

I could be way off the mark here. But I feel like having MX start so soon after SX causes these types of things. Their outdoor testing is limited and they’re doing so while in SX mode. The limited testing time forces them to push a little harder here and there to get the right setups. I’d prefer to trim SX slightly, down to 15 races (it’s a meat grinder already, so 2 less races would be good), and give the riders an entire month off before MX starts.

God damn I really want to see him gain some healthy momentum. 

So, entire TLD team is out?

Barcia, Brown, Mosiman, Swoll, Mookie, Craig, Webb all out. Tough times at KTM group

Add Marv to the list.

Ap has been out the last 2 rounds also.
