Lucas Coenen's build up to his highly anticipated 2027 AMA Supercross debut has hit a setback, with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing star undergoing surgery to address his troublesome hip injury.
Coenen's second half of the season was heavily impacted by the ailment sustained in a qualifying crash at the British Grand Prix in July, prompting the 20-year-old to finally get the issue sorted.
“Different birthday spent! Finally found the problem and solved it. Time to recover now,” Coenen stated.
Having signed to race in America next season, Coenen now faces a race against time to recover and be fit for his Supercross bow, which could now come in the 250 class rather than the premier 450 category as initially planned.
