Michael Mosiman will miss the remainder of the Supercross season after a serious practice crash while preparing for the Birmingham round at The Farm left him with a dislocated elbow, a broken radius and multiple fractures to his hand and fingers. He underwent surgery to repair the broken radius, had the elbow reduced and received treatment for fractures to his fingers and other hand injuries. In an Instagram post Mosiman called the injury “devastating,” thanked supporters, said the recovery “is not terribly long” and said he hopes to be fit in time for the Pro Motocross series.

Mosiman, who rides for Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, entered the crash tied for third in the 250SX West standings after six rounds with two podiums this season, including a runner-up finish at Anaheim 2 where he led laps. By withdrawing from the remaining Supercross rounds he will forfeit his pursuit of the 250SX West championship.

Star Racing announced Mosiman will miss the rest of Supercross, describing the absence as an injury-driven midseason setback while leaving open the possibility he could return for the outdoor Pro Motocross series; the team said the recovery timeline could allow a comeback in time for the Pro Motocross Championship opener on May 30 at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. The team said it will field healthy 250SX riders at the Birmingham East/West Showdown and named Haiden Deegan, Dangerboy, Max Anstie, Cole Davies, Pierce Brown, Nate Thrasher and rookie Caden Dudney. Star Racing and Mosiman warned the absence will materially affect the 250SX West title fight and his preparation for the upcoming motocross season if rehabilitation proceeds as expected.
