Monster Energy Kawasaki announced today that Adam Cianciarulo will miss the remainder of Monster Energy Supercross due to fractures sustained in his back after being run over by Cooper Webb in a fall on the second lap of the main event at round 11 last Sunday.
“This is not the news I was expecting to be sharing today, but after speaking to additional specialists and the team, it is in my best interest that I sit out the remainder of the supercross season,” he said in a press release. “This is a tough pill to swallow as I was really excited to get back to racing here in Salt Lake City, but I have to be smart with what my body is telling me. For now, I will focus on my recovery and do everything in my power to make sure I am ready to go in July for the start of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship. I want to thank the entire Monster Energy Kawasaki team for their unwavering support through this tough time. We will be back and stronger than ever.”
Cianciarulo attempted to qualify for round 12 on Wednesday but withdrew from the event due to back pain.
AC added more in an Instagram post:
“Had an idea of how this trip was going to go, and it’s safe to say it didn’t turn out that way. Sometimes that’s life though. All you can do is wake up everyday and try to be the best you can be. I know I do that, so it eases my frustration and allows me to not get discouraged. Hate it for all my supporters. I really appreciate all the love you guys have been showing me. Couple weeks off the bike and we’ll be ready to rip!”
