Already hindered by Epstein-Barr, Dean Wilson’s 2021 Pro Motocross struggles continued with a crash ending his day at RedBud, putting his chances to race at Southwick in question.
After announcing he’s been racing through Epstein-Barr, Wilson headed to RedBud for round four of the championship looking to continue to improve on his best finish of 12th overall so far this season.
In the opening moto, he found himself comfortably inside the top 10, until a crash with two laps to go left him on the ground and out for moto two, suffering internal bruising in the fall.
“It’s a disappointing way to end the weekend,” Wilson explained. “We were looking for a good first moto and with just two laps to go, I drug pegs off a rut on the tabletop and I had to step over the bars. It happened so fast and I landed on my feet luckily but I bruised my inside organs a little bit.
“Unfortunately, I have to sit today out, which is hard to take because I want to get good finishes and keep getting better but unfortunately, we had this. We’ll see if we can make next weekend.”
If Wilson doesn’t return to action for round five of the series at Southwick this weekend, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s 450 effort could go dormant with Zach Osborne and Jason Anderson both out with injury.
