Red Bull KTM announced on Wednesday that Tom Vialle will miss round 8 of the Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday at Washougal.
Per the team, Vialle is still experiencing “soreness in his knee and shoulder” following a hard crash entering the sand whoops on the opening lap of the second 250 moto last Saturday at Spring Creek.
Vialle, who is currently fifth in 250 points, is expected to return at round 9 at Ironman on August 9.
Ian Harrison, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager: “It’s definitely unfortunate to announce that Tom Vialle will be sitting out this weekend’s race. It’s a long and demanding season for our riders, and we’ve been extremely fortunate up to this point to have had a full roster through the majority of Supercross and Pro Motocross. Of course, we love seeing our entire team out on the track representing the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing program, but our riders’ health and safety always come first. We fully support Tom’s decision to take the weekend off so he can focus on finishing the season strong and continuing to fight for podiums.”
