The 250 Moto 2 turned crazy at the Millville National. Heavy rain and a lightning storm delayed the proceedings, then chaos really broke out in the first turn when Chance Hymas appeared to have the holeshot but then seemed to be losing traction with his front tire. He stuck his leg out to catch himself, and his foot caught Deegan’s front wheel, causing Deegan to go down. Worse, Hymas injured himself, going from the lead to being out of the moto instantly. Honda HRC reports a foot or ankle injury for Hymas, who was second in 250 points coming into the race, but x-rays turned out negative. He’ll have more tests this week to check for ligament damage, as he was unable to put weight on the foot.
From the angle of this video, we can clearly see Hymas’s bike taking a perfect arc through the corner, along with everyone else in the shot. Look at Haiden’s angle; it’s sharper and pointing towards Hymas. Then, Chance loses the front slightly, so he dabs his foot like many riders do, and this is when Haiden runs into him.
nother angle on Moto 2 first corner incident! @dangerboydeegan @chancehymas_
