Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing rider Dylan Ferrandis will sit out Round 10 of the AMA Supercross Championship in Birmingham, Alabama, as he continues to recover from a thumb injury sustained at Daytona International Speedway. Words: Ducati
Ferrandis originally injured his thumb during his 450SX heat race at Daytona. Despite the setback, he attempted to compete in the main event but suffered a second crash, forcing an early exit. He subsequently missed the Indianapolis round, using the break and the following off-weekend to focus on recovery.
After returning to practice this week, Ferrandis and the team determined that his hand strength has not yet returned to a level that would allow him to compete safely and effectively.
The team will continue to monitor his progress and provide updates on his return to racing.
