The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas team was dealt another injury blow, as 250 rider Pierce Brown confirmed on Instagram that he sustained a broken hand last Friday and will miss the remainder of Monster Energy Supercross.
Brown also said that he’s been dealing with a torn meniscus for the last month and has undergone surgery to fix it.
“Tough news to break but unfortunately I broke my hand last Friday while prepping for outdoors and had to get it fixed up in surgery today. I’ve also been dealing with a torn meniscus for the last month or so and I went ahead and got that fixed up today too thanks to Dr. Greenbaum. We’re on the mend and imma be doing everything possible to get back ASAP. Bummed to let my team and supporters down as it’s been a tough ‘23 season. I’ll keep you guys updated on everything but I’m stoked to get healthy and come out swinging for outdoors. Thanks team.”
The team is already without Michael Mosiman (expected to return for Pro Motocross) and Justin Barcia, who sustained a broken collarbone in Nashville.
