Team USA 2024 Motocross of Nations Hopes in Jeopardy Due to Injuries!
Chase Sexton participation in the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals is now in serious doubt due to a hand injury sustained during the race in Las Vegas. Sexton was involved in a crash early in moto one, which was a tough blow after a long season of 31 events. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team confirmed the unfortunate news, stating that the hand injury suffered in SMX450 Moto 1 has ended Sexton’s night.“It’s been a hard-fought season for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider,” the team announced. “Stay tuned for further updates as they become available.”
As Sexton’s condition is evaluated, Eli Tomac may be next in line to step in if he decides to race.
Lewis Phillips reported that Roger DeCoster stated, “If Chase is out and Eli is not willing to step up, Team USA should cancel their plans and not race.” This comment highlights the precarious situation Team USA faces as they prepare for the upcoming Motocross of Nations. With Chase Sexton potentially sidelined due to injury and uncertainty surrounding Eli Tomac’s willingness to participate, the team’s lineup hangs in the balance.
