Colt Nichols Suffers Torn Labrum In Offseason Crash

Colt Nichols will spend a significant portion of the offseason on the couch due to a torn labrum suffered in a recent practice crash. The Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha rider went down a few weeks ago in Southern California and the damage required surgery, which Nichols is currently recovering from. This is a blow for a rider widely seen as a title contender in the 250 class of the 2020 Monster Energy Supercross Series as the healing time will take much of the offseason, but he has confirmed that he will line up for the East Coast region, which begins in February.

The 2019 season was a breakthrough for Nichols, thanks to his career-first Main Event win at the opening round in Anaheim, five podium finishes, and time at the top of the point standings through a considerable part of the season; he ultimately finished third overall in the championship.

Well almost 2 weeks ago had a crash while practicing and popped my shoulder out of place. Did some damage to it but luckily @ocsportsdoc got me all fixed up. On the mend now and will do everything in my power to go racing come east coast supercross. Good thing I didn’t have the surgery my boy did or i’d be ball-less. 😂 on the real thank you to everybody who supports me I’ll be back 💪🏽 also big thank you to @mayraalt for taking care of me and the boy
