Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Team announced that Garett Marchbanks will be out “for the foreseeable future” do to the injuries that he sustained yesterday in press day practice crash..
ClubMX Team Manager Mike Bonacci: I regretfully have to report that Garrett Marchbanks will be out for the foreseeable future due to a crash at press day in Pala. He crested the tunnel jump before the mechanics area only to find three bikes on the ground. It was an avoidable situation but no fault of his own, and unfortunately the damage was severe enough to take him out of racing until further notice.
Marchbamks added: “I am so frustrated and upset that this happened. I just want to race, this is my career. I came over that jump at full speed, with no indication there was not one, not two but three guys laying on the downside of the jump. I have to score points to make it into SMX and now that is in jeopardy.”
Marchbanks was transported to a local medic to get a fair amount of stitches around his thumb. It is the same thumb that he recently had repaired and now it is reaggravated. We will announce his return to racing when more information is available.
