2020 ATLANTA SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE
Here’s a late addition to the injury report for the 2020 Atlanta Supercross. The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team has announced that Zach Osborne will sit out round nine of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series due to injuries from a practice crash he had this week.
Osborne broke a rib, bruised both lungs, and sprained his wrist during a get-off while doing his usual training in Florida. Although the injuries are not serious, they are enough to sideline him for the foreseeable future, starting this weekend in Georgia. The press release from the team states that it’s too soon to set a certain timetable for recovery, but that Osborne will be absent from the starting line until he is completely ready.
The press release, including quotes from Osborne, is posted in full below…
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Zach Osborne was injured during a practice crash in Florida this week following Round 8 of the 2020 AMA Supercross World Championship Series. Osborne suffered a broken rib, two bruised lungs and a sprained wrist. His return to racing is yet to be determined as he assesses the proper recovery time for his injuries.
“I’m really gutted with the timing of this incident but very grateful that my injuries were minor considering the hit that I took,” Osborne said. “It’s been a very tough start to the season for me and my team has been so awesome in picking me back up as they always do. This is just a bump in the road and I will be back as soon as I’m back to 100% and can reach my full potential again.”
