Plessinger revealed the injury via social media this afternoon, however, it is unclear how long the injury will take to recover following his operation today.

“Well, unfortunately had a little mishap yesterday and resulted in a dislocated wrist,” Plessinger explained. “Going for surgery today – more updates to come. Was feeling great on the bike, but things happen for a reason and I’ll be back strong.”

Pro Motocross was previously due to start this weekend at Ironman Raceway, before a spike in coronavirus cases caused further postponements to the 2020 schedule. It’s not yet been confirmed when the championship will begin following the latest delay.
