Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s RJ Hampshire will sit out round 9 in Indianapolis tonight, he announced on Instagram.
“As much as I want to go racing tonight, the team and I decided to sit this one out! Was sick all week and just not comfortable out there. We did this for experience and with the track as brutal as tonight will be, I need get back to 100% to be ready to battle in Seattle. Thank you @husqvarnamotorcyclesusa @rockstarenergy for the opportunity. Good chance you see me back on a 450 before the @supercrosslive season is over.”
Hampshire qualified 15th today in Indy but will not compete tonight.
The Florida native made his 450 debut last weekend at Daytona and finished 8th overall.
