CLERMONT, Fla. — Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Jalek Swoll successfully underwent surgery on Saturday to repair a broken bone in his arm, which he sustained during a practice crash on Friday.
Swoll, who was slated to compete in the 250SX Eastern Regional Championship aboard the Husqvarna FC 250, will miss the opening round next Saturday, Feb. 4, in Houston, Texas.
Details of his recovery time have not yet been determined.
The news comes on the heels of another unfortunate announcement from 450SX rider Malcolm Stewart, who also suffered a practice crash earlier this week. Stewart will remain sidelined until further evaluation from doctors.
However, teammates RJ Hampshire and Christian Craig will return to the starting gate today in Anaheim, Calif., for round four of Monster Energy AMA Supercross.
