2019 Southwick Motocross | Entry List & Injury Report

2019 SOUTHWICK MOTOCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

The 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship continues on with the sixth round of the season, the 2019 Southwick Motocross. It’s almost unbelievable that we’re halfway through the summer, but Saturday’s motos will be just that. Last week’s grueling motos in Florida took a lot out of the riders and they’ve had a week to recover and prepare before another warm day of racing on a sandy, energy-sapping circuit. This part of the summer series (WW Motocross, Southwick, RedBud) will be a massive indicator of which riders are fit and can trim down the number of possible front-runners. If a racer can make it through the three stops with points scored and no issues, they will be in a good spot for the crucial rounds that will ultimately determine the titles.

Here’s a look at the pre-entry list for both classes, plus an injury report, and notes for key riders ahead of the weekend’s race. The five rounds of the Nationals run so far, plus the Supercross season, has worn down the competition and some notable names will be missing from the gate in Massachusetts while a few are set to make their return.
