Chance Hymas to Sit Out SMX Playoffs at Texas Motor Speedway

Today Team Honda HRC Progressive announced that Chance Hymas is still suffering the effects from the hit that he took to his knee last weekend in Charlotte.

With that news, he will not be available to races today at Texas Motor Speedway.

Hymas has been dealing with this injury for most of the summer.

“After aggravating a previous injury to his left knee at the SuperMotocross opener, @chancehymas_ and Team Honda HRC Progressive have made the difficult decision to have him sit out the remainder of the SMX series. Hymas has been riding with a torn ACL all season but he has been able to compete at a high level. However, he suffered a bone bruise in the second moto at Charlotte and experienced discomfort during yesterday’s practice sessions. Based on past experience, the team is confident Hymas will be ready to compete at a high level in a matter of weeks. The focus is to be totally prepared to race for Team USA at the Motocross of Nations on October 6.“

We’ll keep you posted on more as this story develops.
