This was expected, but made official today: Red Bull KTM rookie Julien Beaumer will miss the RedBud National this weekend as he recovers from a brutal crash in the second 250 moto last Saturday at Southwick.
Beaumer went down hard early in the race and got hit in the head by another bike as he went down. He was down for quite a while and the race was eventually red flagged.
Per the team, while “the 18-year-old has been cleared of any additional injuries, Beaumer is currently following the MX Sports Pro Racing concussion protocol and will return to competition once he is back to 100 percent fitness.”
Ian Harrison – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager: “It was so unfortunate to see Julien crash in the opening lap of Moto 2 at Southwick, after showing strides at High Point with a sixth overall. Julien’s health is our first priority and it is a positive that he did not sustain further injury. After receiving further evaluations this week, he will sit out RedBud and will diligently follow concussion protocol until cleared to race. We eagerly anticipate his full recovery and return to racing at 100 percent.”
