Triumph Factory Racing announced on Wednesday that Jalek Swoll will miss the final two rounds of Pro Motocross due to a torn UCL in his thumb and a calf injury, which was sustained at Ironman last Saturday.
Since returning from a torn Achilles that cost him the entire Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship, Swoll has three top 10 finishes, including a return to the podium with a second overall at ReBud.
Unfortunately for Swoll, he has also dealt with injury.
At Southwick, he sustained a torn UCL in his thumb that he has continued riding through until now. Then, at Washougal, he feel early in the first moto and was black flagged by officials after he appeared to hit his head. He was not allowed to race the second moto.
At Ironman over the weekend, Swoll sustained a torn calf in qualifying and while he ran up front before falling to 10th in the first moto, he pulled off after only one lap in the second moto.
“Unfortunately in qualifying over the weekend I tore my calf, no crash or dab in a corner just landed a jump and boom😕,” Swoll wrote on Instagram. “We assume it was just weak from when I did my Achilles and in that case there’s nothing I could’ve done, between my thumb injury and not being able to practice during my time racing and now tearing my calf it’s been tough and I can proudly say my body has had enough before I did….. with that being said, me and the team have decided to sit out the rest of the year to get healed and ready to contend in 2026…..
“Very proud of myself and the team for helping me get back to being competitive and on the box in such short amount of time, the effort is there and excited to dog this offseason out 🐕 see you soon.”
After missing all of Supercross, Swoll is currently 24th in the SuperMotocross Playoff standings, and could compete through the LCQs, but he will focus on returning for 2026, where he will remain with the team after inking a new deal earlier this year.
