I think we all assumed the worse for Phil Nicoletti after he crashed during the second Moto at Hangtown while running up front.
His knee injury didn’t sound that great after the last update that we did, but per the Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Team PR today…PHIL IS MIRACULOUSLY RACING HIGH POINT!!!
He has been healed…
Okay, so he hasn’t been healed. He’s going to race, but it’s going to hurt, but Phil’s old man didn’t raise no wussy.
ClubMX Team Manager: Mike Bonacci:
IT’S A MIRACLE! Phil’s spectacular crash at Hangtown resulted in what was believed to be a career-
ending injury to his knee. With some proper imaging and “Phil style” rehab, the damage was not as extensive as first thought. All that to say – Phil is going to line up at High Point to keep building points to stay out of the LCQ program for SMX. Does it hurt – YES, will there be some discomfort – YES, will he be happy this weekend – ABSLOUTELY! The youth of today may never know how much effort, sacrifice and will power it takes to perform at Phil’s level, but if they look up the word determination on their smart phone – Phil’s picture shows up first. He actually trained on his bike today and is ready to make the trip north. It is a great story if you were to see his knee the size of a grapefruit last week to where it is now.
The summer of Phil has returned!
