Dylan Ferrandis He will also miss the tenth round of the AMA Supercross Championship in Birmingham. The Frenchman is still not fit enough to return to 450SX racing.
The problems date back to Daytona. Ferrandis injured his thumb there during the heat race. Despite the injury, he still started the main event, but crashed again and had to retire from the race.
He then skipped the race in Indianapolis and used the break and the off-weekend for recovery.
Training is not enough yet.
Ferrandis was back on his motorcycle this week, but the feedback was clear: he still doesn't have the necessary strength in his thumb to ride at a Supercross level. This is a crucial factor, especially in the 450SX class, where every lap demands maximum control.
Together with the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Team The decision was therefore made to also skip Birmingham. It's less about individual points and more about avoiding the risk of the situation worsening.
Return still uncertain
There is currently no concrete timetable for the comeback. The team wants to continue monitoring the healing process and only then decide when a return to play would be appropriate.
As things stand, Ferrandis will remain sidelined – until his physical condition is right again
