Zach Osborne will not compete at Washougal

Red Bull KTM rider Zach Osborne will be not be racing at the 8th round of the AMA Outdoor Nationals at Washougal MX park this weekend due to lingering side effects from severe dehydration suffered at the Budd’s Creek event.

Osborne, obviously disappointed said, "Since the heat exhaustion at Budd’s Creek, I never recovered and I could only go for five laps at a time. After five laps, I was so tired all I wanted to do was sleep and I couldn’t show my true potential. It was recommended by my trainer Jeff Spencer that I take two weeks off and get back into full health. I think this is what’s best for me and for my team. So as of right now, I hope to race Millville."

KTM fully supports this decision and wishes Osborne a speedy and full recovery.
