2019 Florida Motocross | Entry List & Injury Report

2019 FLORIDA MOTOCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

The 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship continues its push through the first part of summer with the 2019 Florida Motocross, the fifth round of the series. This is a landmark event for Florida motocross and will break a 22-year absence of American pro motocross in the state, a strange stat considering the sheer number of riders that have relocated to the region for its stellar year-round weather and training opportunities. Although this is the first time that the series has visited the WW Ranch, it won’t be the first time the venue has held a professional motocross event, because it hosted a round of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross World Championship in 2017.

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 four rounds of the Nationals run so far, plus the Supercross season, has worn down some of the competition and some notable names will be missing from the gate in Jacksonville.
