THE GOOD OIL | HOT OFF THE PRESS

The injury toll in AMA Supercross
has eased with the return of a
number of riders at round six in
San Diego. Among the returnees
was Honda’s Trey Canard who
had missed two races, Geico
Honda’s Justin Bogle who had
missed four, Yoshimura Suzuki’s
Blake Baggett who had missed
four rounds, came back for one
and then missed another with a
different injury.
BTO Sports KTM’s Andrew
Short also came back at round six
after missing the start of the
series with a shoulder injury.
Let’s take a look at the riders
out right now and when they
should be back:
YOSHIMURA SUZUKI’S JAMES
STEWART: Knocked out at the
opener and a race-to-race
proposition since then with
concussion symptoms. It’s

most of the season.
