According to moto 'media' they are both either 'banged up' or possibly have Epstein Barr...
They are hiding things from us!!
I am sure the legacy media will get to the bottom of it- about a day or so after slowie or Cooksey posts a video with the details..
Watching the incident with Jo, it looked to me like he hit Clout's footpeg with his lower leg.

They gave an update on Jo during the broadcast, even showed him on crutches. report was nothing was broken but couldn’t rule out ligament or tendons and he would get additional screening done most likely MRI or CT this week. Why they don’t go to the nearest trauma center ER for this immediately i have no clue, I know I would if I was a rider. The faster it is evaluated the faster you can get on a recovery/rehab plan.
Because the ER is not specialists and who knows what doctor is on call that night. The A-stars guys are ER docs and would send him if required. If it was life threatening or a compound fracture, yes they would need to go there, but these guys see doctors that are the best in their field with the latest procedures, not a random ortho in STL when they live in FL.
Way too many hack doctors and hospitals to do that.
My guess with Sexton is a really hard hit to the balls. Couldntt stand up for a minute. Looked like he couldn't even breath before picking up his bike. Been there, done that!
The dreaded moto cluster buster.
Yup, you go to your guy. Hell I have a guy and I'm nobody. I'm not letting some random hospital ortho in the middle of nowhere tell me what my next steps are.
Thats what I instantly thought or even Clout’s boot toe.
With Sexton he may have thumped his head.
Yeah it looked to me like when Sexton cased that jump, his head came down on the bars pretty hard. He even looked kinda dizzy when he got up.
Well from someone that works in the er, most er's don't do mri's unless emergent. A foot isn't emergent. A CT scan, sure, but it won't give you the view an MRI will. That's why they don't go to er. Why go sit in an ear for hours? If I'm triage and joe comes in for treatment in a busy ER. Joe going back to the lobby and await his X-ray. Then maybe a few hours later he will get a cheap splint/boot and some crutches and discharge papers to follow up with ortho Monday.
Chase, I would take more serious if his complaint is chest pain/SOB because of the direct impact to the chest. If it's just wrist pain he gets the same as Joe.
But neither are getting an MRi. Only exception is if chase is complaining of low back back from that impact and he has some bowel/bladder issues as well. MRI to r/o cauda equina. These are all based on my limited knowledge.
No hate, but Chase needs to stay home until motocross.
The kawa landed on Jo’s foot. I don’t care what rc thinks.
to get a MRI smart guy
Idk bruh... they've done plenty of shady chit in the past...
Pit Row
I’ve received an MRI within 20 minutes at UMC Trauma center here in Vegas… not sure what the big deal is or why all the negative comments. I’m not a professional athlete but i would want to get as much information as soon as possible to ensure the best rehabilitation outcome.
The procedure for care at the stadium is assess the injury, if remotely life threatening or tbi the rider is referred to the local trauma center. If orthopedic related, stabilize the rider and ensure they can get back home. Every race team has a local orthopedist on speed dial. As a patient you want the same orthopedist for continuity from the initial consult, to follow ups, to potential surgery. Plus it's not uncommon for an orthopedist to request different images or areas than received at a trauma center. So, as a rider with potential damage to an ankle/foot, there really is no benefit to spend a Saturday evening in the Trauma center. It is better for the team/Jo to schedule his consults quickly and get him back home as quickly and comfortable as possible.
Bro, if it’s not critical you aren’t getting an MRI by showing up to the ER. He would have been sitting there half the night and they would have referred him to a specialist….smart guy
Not sure why you got smashed, maybe hospitals are different in the States, but I thought the same thing when they said they’d wait to get imaging. The imaging ability they have onsite at the track is limited.
Can’t remember who it was, but Astars recently cleared a rider of no breaks and they went for follow up and it was fractured.
Exactly this
Yeah, I can't say for that one in Vegas but I do travel nursing for a living. I have worked in many er's across the country and it's pretty universal on the MRI shit. I haven't worked at any level 1's but a few level 2's and NO WHERE I worked or having even heard of giving a lower leg injury and MRI in the ED. Fact is Joe wouldn't even see the ED Dr unless the ankle needed to be reduced, this getting a conscious sedation to reduce it. Otherwise Joe is sitting in the lobby and waiting on X-ray to come get him at which point he will go back to the lobby and await the mid-level (PA or NP) to order him a splint (if broken) or ace wrap or maybe a boot. Depending where the injury is. He will get some cheap crutches and instructions to follow up with ortho.
While he waits he will be given an ice pack and IF the mid level has time he might order a 650 Tylenol or 600mg ibuprofen. There may be a few that would give a norco if he was whining enough. All this would not happen in 20 minutes. Most likely wouldn't even be called back to triage in 20 minutes.
Again, I'm not jumping on the guy that suggested this. I'm just stating the reality of the facts at the hospitals I've worked in my 15 years of nursing.
That Vegas hospital might be different but somehow I just don't see an MRI of a lower leg happening. Especially in 20 minutes. Most hospitals I've worked at has to call the MRI tech as the don't even scheduled them at night.
Will not be surprised if Sexton is done until the outdoors.
When he lines up for outdoors, if he finishes outside the top 5, I think he may come and go.
I like Sexton and was maybe the last to hop on the mind- set issues but believe that is the case.
I call it excite bike syndrome. When you get off to a bad start or crash, just hit the start fresh button. The bike is capable of a championship.
I think he needs to realize he has been and is a top 6 guy who can win at anytime. Much like Hunter, Eli, Webb and J Coop. You have to be in it.
I used to be a Sexton fan, but he's just in his own head all the time. The amount of times we've seen him sitting on his butt, head in his hands thinking about what just happened is getting to be too many. He's become 'Chase the Headcase'.
Fast as heck when he's on, but you're always wondering when the pressure will make him crack and he will get the better of himself.
Too bad, seems nice enough.
Felt bad for Jo... can't seem to catch a break.
"Case" Sexton, damn that was as bad a case as I've seen in a while.
Jo Shimoda:
“Not much to say about my weekend—I wasn’t able to finish a lap in the heat race. I was trying to avoid a rider crashing in front of me and ended up getting landed on. Alpinestars medical told me that there were no broken bones, but possible ligament damage. We’ll know more when I get an MRI.”
Lars Lindstrom, Team Manager:
“A bittersweet night, which is common in racing when you have two riders that are championship contenders. Jo never got a chance to show what he had, and we’re doing everything we can to help him get back to being on the bike. Initially, it looked really serious, but now I’m more hopeful that it’s only a minor setback. Hopefully, we’ll know more after an MRI, but weight on the foot seems to be okay. I’m happy with Hunter’s race; if you’re going to race banged up, especially with a sore wrist, this is not the track you want to be racing at. It was absolutely brutal; Hutch and I had to walk the track afterwards, and that’s when they should have the fans walking the track. It blows my mind that the top guys are able to continue to do the rhythms and jump things out of turns when the track is that soft, rutted and destroyed. We’re satisfied with the result, happy to make up points and be tied for the red plate, but we definitely want more and look forward to battling for this championship to the end!”
Here's what happened to them, I apologize:
Yeah, I had them both on my bingo card this week as well. But you still managed 4 points more than me this week, and by looking at our rankings, most other weeks too!
