Had a season with this many race missing injuries? I can’t recall one.
Personally, I think the loss of a dominant rider (or two) has upset the pecking order causing the riders to each take greater risks to establish their place in the respective classes.

edit: was 2012 also the year canard got landed on ?? if u so , u can add trey to the list of injuries tht year as well
The entire top 27 riders in 450 points were healthy at the Oakland round 2 weeks ago. 5 guys (Grant, Weimer, Bogle, Roczen, Barcia) have gone out since, but still almost every other year there are more injuries.
2003 was a really bad one. Some of the rounds had only 3 factory riders - RC, Reed, Fonseca.
Yep, 2003 was probably worse.

I also remember that year a bunch of 250 guys raced big bikes. Cole Seely and Wil Hahn both filled in for Trey at points. Marvin rode Daytona in the mud on a KTM 350 and got 4th. And Kenny was 2nd to Shorty in Seattle on the 350.
