Chance Hymas dislocated his left shoulder in a first-turn crash at the Anaheim 2 Supercross round, suffering a torn labrum that produced a DNF after he had won his heat and posted a second- and a sixth-place finish earlier in the season. Team reports say another rider’s crash forced Hymas down and he put his arm out to brace, causing the dislocation and associated labral tear.

Honda HRC Progressive confirmed Hymas will undergo labrum repair surgery on Friday, January 30. The team selected the procedure to prioritize his long-term shoulder health and expects he will be back on the bike in roughly eight weeks — a rehabilitation timeline aimed at having him fully recovered for the outdoor Pro Motocross season rather than returning for the remainder of Supercross. Honda says Hymas will miss the remaining rounds of the Supercross championship while he recovers and will be monitored over the coming weeks. He joins teammates Jo Shimoda (sidelined with a back issue) and Jett Lawrence (recovering from an ankle injury) on the team’s injured list; Hunter Lawrence sits second in the championship after three rounds.
