Wrist Injury to Sideline Marvin Musquin for Rest of Monster Energy Supercross

Red Bull KTM has provided an update on Marvin Musquin and it ain’t good.

Musquin, who sustained a wrist injury prior to round 2 in San Diego, will be sidelined indefinitely for the AMA Supercross Championship portion of the 2023 SMX World Championship as he continues to recover.

Upon returning to his home country of France earlier this month for further medical evaluations, Musquin’s surgeon determined that the 33-year-old has a broken scaphoid bone in his left wrist. As a result and considering a past injury, it has been decided that allowing his wrist time to heal naturally without rushing the process is the ideal method of recovery.

Ian Harrison – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager: “It’s always disappointing to have one of our riders get injured so early on in the season, especially given the caliber of Marvin and the way he was riding coming into the season. But injuries happen and the last thing we want is for him to rush the healing process and return to racing too soon. We respect his wishes to seek further consultation with his doctors in France and he is now on the path to making a full recovery.”
