2020 Salt Lake City Three Supercross | Entry List & Injury Report

2020 SALT LAKE CITY THREE SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Back to the track. After a short three-day break, it’s time for the thirteenth round of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series. This’ll be the third race of seven at Rice Eccles Stadium and with the way things are looking on the weather front, it’ll be much different than the two prior. The current forecast calls for rain to start on Saturday and continue through Sunday morning, with the high temperatures to be in the 60s. How will that impact riders? We’re eager to see for ourselves.

These last two races have been very telling, especially with riders that have struggled to maintain their peak performance in the altitude. Having two races in quick succession has been another issue for guys to overcome and as we enter race three in Utah, we have a list of guys that have been roughed up in the last week. 

Even though the unplanned break between Daytona and Salt Lake City gave riders some extra time to heal up injuries or sort out things in their programs, the sudden restart has caused some issues. Some riders decided to undergo surgery for serious injuries that while others were unable to take on spending a month in Utah and all that costs that come with it. There are a handful of riders that scored championship points in 2020 that will not be racing in Salt Lake City and we’ve included them as part of the injury report.
