This just sucks. Dean Wilson is racing his final year of Monster Energy Supercross and has been a solid top-10 dude all year. He was going out the way he should.
Then, Daytona.
In Dean’s words: F****!
Dean is a Vurb OG and we love him and this is just brutal. He’s been through so many injuries and continues to bounce back and was just looking to go out on a high note, then this. A broken scapula (WebMD it, kids) and now he’s going to be out for a bit.
The silver lining in all this: he hopes to be back for the last few races. And, like he said, at least it wasn’t his ass.
“Well f*ck! I am so mad at myself🤬Solid top 10 in the books for Daytona rode solid all main. Just over a lap to go I barely made a mistake in the rhythm & got grabbed by a soft spot and threw me on the ground. Got up as fast as I could went to pick bike up but my shoulder felt off. Ended up breaking my Scapula in 3 spots. I’m so frustrated at myself. I was in such a good spot for a good finish and boom it’s over. Gonna do all I can to heal up and be back for the last few Sx races. Gutted for my team & my fans. Wanted to be out there every weekend for you guys. The last injury I had was a foot peg in my ass so it’s been a solid couple years but unfortunately this is how the game goes. Thank you all for the support❤️🤝 the choob will be up tomorrow night.”
DW15 has always been a class act. Wish him the best. I watched a video of him getting a little guy a new bike I couldn’t help but cry. The MX community is one of the few you will see these acts of kindness.
