Chino, CA (3 Febbraio 2016) – Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing salterà il turno di questa settimana del Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Campionato FIM presso l’Università di Phoenix Stadium di Glendale, in Arizona.

La ragione per l’assenza di questo fine settimana è che i piloti Yoshimura Suzuki sono out, messi da parte. Rider James Stewart sta effettuando una serie di test per capire meglio l’origine della visione offuscata che ha rilevato nella gara della scorsa settimana. Egli dovrebbe saperne di più dopo aver ottenuto questi risultati circa il suo programma per tornare. Il compagno di squadra Blake Baggett ha contuso la spalla ad Oakland e ha bisogno di un po ‘di tempo di guarigione.

Yoshimura Suzuki tornerà non appena i piloti saranno pronti a guidare e sperano di tornare in qualche modo a San Diego.

“Dopo il ritiro dalla gara con problemi di vista ad Oakland, abbiamo incoraggiato James a sottoporsi ad ulteriori test e assicurarsi che egli torni al 100 per cento sano, prima di tornare a correre,” ha detto Mike Webb, team manager per Yoshimura Suzuki. “E Blake ha preso una pausa per la botta subita alla stessa spalla che ha appena operato. Fortunatamente, non ha ri-rotto la spalla, tuttavia è profondamente schiacciata e ha movimenti limitati. Blake è abbastanza fiducioso che egli dovrebbe essere pronto per San Diego. ”

Il team rilascerà ulteriori aggiornamenti quando sono disponibili informazioni.

James Stewart undergoing tests, Blake Baggett Nursing Shoulder

Chino, CA (Feb. 3, 2016) – Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing will miss this week’s round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, FIM Championship at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The reason for the absence this weekend is that both Yoshimura Suzuki riders are sidelined. Rider James Stewart is undergoing a series of tests to better understand the source of the blurred vision he experienced in last week’s race. He should find out more after getting those results about his schedule to return to action. Teammate Blake Baggett bruised his shoulder in Oakland and needs a bit of healing time.

Yoshimura Suzuki will return as soon as either rider is ready to ride and hopes to back in some capacity in San Diego.

“After retiring from the race with vision problems in Oakland, we encouraged James to undergo further testing and make sure he is 100 percent healthy before returning to racing,” said Mike Webb, team manager for Yoshimura Suzuki. “And Blake took a big hit to the same shoulder he just had surgery on this past weekend. Fortunately, he hasn’t re-broken the shoulder, however it is deeply bruised and at this point he only has limited range of motion. Blake is fairly confident that he should be ready to go by the following round in San Diego.”

The team will issue further updates when additional information is available.
