Michael Mosiman went down hard in what eyewitnesses described as one of the worst crashes they’ve ever seen. The full extent of his injuries has yet to be confirmed, but we’ll share updates as soon as more information becomes available. What is certain is that Mosiman was in visible pain as he lay on the track before being taken to the Alpinestars Medical Unit, where he was treated with heavy bandaging around his head.
Despite this major setback, Mosiman still holds 10th place in the 250 Class AMA Pro Motocross Championship, following a season marked by flashes of strong rides and unfortunate crashes. He also remains 10th in the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) Playoff standings.
The Californian’s day started with promise after qualifying 10th, but disaster struck on Lap 2 of Moto 1, just before the Skyshot jump. The crash forced him to withdraw from the race, where he ultimately required stitches for a severe cut above his eye. An official update on his condition is expected soon.
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team General Manager Wil Hahn commented:
“Unfortunately, Mosiman had a big crash in Moto 1 and had to call it a day after needing stitches for a big cut above his eye.”
