Ellie Reed has posted an update on her social media regarding Chad's condition after his massive get off at Cardiff. CR22 has picked up quite the injury list at the opening round of World Supercross. At this point, it's pretty easy to say we won't be seeing Chad Reed for his home country round, a real bummer. Get well soon Chad.

Update: Cause of crash and options Chad / MDK have going into round two here: https://www.vitalmx.com/videos/features/Chad-Reeds-World-Supercross-Cra…

Damn that’s gotta hurt, both physically and mentally disappointing.
He picked it up in the final practice and was moving up through the field before the crash. Bummed he won’t be at the Aussie round.
Is there any footage of the crash, other than the onboard?

According to Ellie's IG stories, him and Grant both went back to the track to watch after going through the medical on site. Then went back to the medical station after the races were over. Damn tough guys.

Chad posted an IG story of him watching and rewinding footage on a computer, but it didn't really show anything other than him coming up short (or maybe over jumping) on something and hitting his front wheel on a take off.

To take a hard enough hit to cause all of those injuries at 40, then go back out and watch the race before hitting the hospital shows how tough these guys are...even after "retirement."

Big bummer for Reed and the family. Tough recovery. The older the tougher.

Tough break for Reed. You could really tell he was putting the effort in. 40 years old and still getting it.

Reeds days racing at SX levels are over. Today, that is painfully obvious.

Mad respect to the guy. Hope he heals up quick.

Damn shame for Reedy & family. His daughters face breaks my heart! Gotta give huge props for the guy having the guts to give it 100%. Hope he gets better soon.

Looks like a bike issue or he hit neutral based on the video. Front dropped…like there was no power to the rear wheel.

Getting out of the sport after such a successful career relatively healthy I always worry a bit about these dudes tipping their toes back in. Racing full time you're committed and so much more switched on, I think kinda dipping back and forth increases the risk some.

Glad he's gonna be ok.

Unpacking all those moving boxes at the new place in Florida is going to suck.

So sad and horrible to see those kids sitting there… But somebody has to say it… nobody at 40 years old belongs on a professional super cross track. He couldn’t even cut a lap two years ago. Stick to managing your three kids love for racing. What an idiot. honestly hate this as much as you want, but there is a reason why RC, RV ECT retired at 28. No old man has any place on a professional Supercross track. The Supercross gods delivered a ugly message to Josh Grant and Chad Reed today. That being said, it’s heartbreaking to see some of my heroes nearly get killed doing something so dumb.

Your IQ rings through as negligent. Keep trying, yet tighten it up in specific matters.

I thought his chain had snapped as they lifted it from the track after his crash....
must have been from the Grant crash and wasn't picked up.
That section caught four riders out with big crashes...

You seem to have an issue with people that have an opinion that differs from yours....now I don't necessarily agree with his opinion as a whole but he has the right to voice it...

You seem to have an issue with people that have opinions about other people’s opinions that differ from yours …….
But that’s just my opinion about opinions regarding other’s opinions of the opinions of others.

I share the same feelings and is why I was relieved when RD5 announced his comeback was over with no SX in his future. MX for the most part is considerably safer than SX since timing isn't as much of an issue.

Heal up quick CR22!

Everyone has the right to have an opinion, but calling Chad an IDIOT for continuing to do what he loves (and is very good at) was a little too much opinion.
But then again, that’s just my opinion.
Some need to stay in there lane and keep their negative opinions to themselves.
