Benny Bloss Sidelined by Wrist Injury Ahead of Supercross Opener
Anaheim, CA – The Supercross season opener in Anaheim has started on a challenging note for the Liqui Moly Beta Racing Team. Veteran rider Benny Bloss suffered a crash during a press day session, resulting in a wrist injury that will force him to sit out the event.
Witness accounts indicate that Bloss lost control when going over the bars in a rhythm section, subsequently being struck by his own bike. Following the incident, he was transported to a nearby hospital for comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
In an official statement, Beta confirmed, “Benny Bloss unfortunately sustained an injury to his wrist during the press practice session. He will be out for an undetermined amount of time.” The team is set to continue its campaign in the 450SX class with fellow rider Mitchell Oldenburg in tomorrow’s race.
This incident underscores the inherent risks of Supercross racing, as teams and riders prepare for a demanding season ahead. The status of Bloss will be monitored closely as the series progresses.
