A week after winning the opening round of the SMX Next Championship at Anaheim 2, Monster Energy/Yamaha Star Racing’s Kayden Minear was unable to lineup for round 2 in Houston after a crash in qualifying.
The Australian was second-fastest during the first session and was trying to better his time in the second session when he tangled with Kade Johnson in the whoops and went down hard.
Over the weekend, he posted an update on his social media explaining why he wasn’t able to race on Saturday.
“Started off the day really good feeling comfy on the bike, unfortunately another rider made a mistake resulting in me going down and knocking myself unconscious, nobody’s fault it’s all part of racing body is sore but we will be back in Daytona ! Thank you to my amazing team and sponsors.”
SMX Next is back in action at round 8 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship at Daytona on Feb 28.
