PrintToday Racer X learned that Chad Reed injured himself over the weekend at the Genoa Supercross. Reed had gone down in a first-turn crash in the first main event, but managed to come back to finish second, and then win the second and final race to edge Justin Barcia for the overall.
In that first-turn crash, Reed hurt his thumb and foot. He dug through the pain during the races, and then tried to do some testing this week with Japanese engineers from Honda. He then realized the pain was too much. According to a text message from Reed today, he then went to get x-rays and found out he does have broken bones, but he described it as, "Nothing too serious."
Reed says he hopes to be back on the bike to continue testing next week after the swelling goes down. Stay tuned to Racer X, we'll report if anything changes.

@rideandracemoto...you do know Reedy is Australian right? Turkey day is an American thing.
@kx408 ummm no its not .... if you mean Thanksgiving is only American your wrong, in Canada we have it, a month early but it's a holiday. I'm not sure if any other countries have it on a different day but a lot have it.
Are you two girls kidding me? If you want to have a dispute you gotta bring more to the table than a pissing match over Thankgiving.
Does any one know how to remove twitter from racerx?
He'd have to have 3 broken thumbs to bother him. Ya did see him,have his "N.D.E." at milleville right? Busted thumkin ain't nothing.....I hope..........
Obama is Liberal POS and don't forget to stomp a local "Occupier" today for good measure. The occupiers of today will be teachers and politicians in 20yrs just like the Hippies of '60's - '70's are today. Down with the Government loving losers.
What an idiot you are pizzacorner...you really don't get it do you?? Are you one of those idiots who just wants gov't to go away?? Chumps like you will be the first to piss and moan when you lose some of the services it provides.......ya right-wing nutbag....STFU!!
VOR-- you said it perfectly.. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend. And I think the Occupiers are great, corporate greed is what makes me sick.
Fellas; Lets keet GOVT out of RACERX. They *uck up enough stuff on their own. Let's not let them in her to sensor us.
Occupiers great???? Are you kidding???? No question greed is out of control, that being said people trashing things urinating and defacating on public and private property to prove a point??? cmon!!! maybe they need to go home and look in their mailbox for the check that I contribute to every week. Im in pizzacorners corner, and by no means am I any kind of republican water boy, let me keep more of my money then when the govt stops services I can pay for them myself. No question that a large number of college profs of today were the flower children of the 70s, ok gotta go now this just made me sick.
@pizzacorner A Hippie invented the computer you are now using ...
Ups man, what makes you think the Occupiers dont have jobs?? Alot of them I see go to work and come back to the site. And none of them I have seen are urinating anywhere outside. You are just one of those guys assuming that is going on.
The only problems I see with it is the cops macing people who arent a threat to anyone. To Hell with all the Wall Street greed, and anyone who is demonstrating against that is fine by me.
How does Reed being bruised up have to do with politics? You guys are crazy, lets just talk about motocross
I am a fellow racer the lives for motocross. I am also a proud Occupier. I have a job with a big corporation. I used to love my job but over the last several years I have seen just how greedy they have become. I have seen first hand how they continue to take more benefits from me while increasing workload and pressure. The company profits more and more each year while taking more and more from me and the customers and buisnesses who I deal with. I do not have a problem with corporations making a ton of money, thats what free market is all about. I do however have a problem with these corporations using their money and power to buy representation. Most of our politions are all bought and owned by corps. The polititions (democrats and repubs) do not work for us the people anymore and that is why we are protesting. I have been protesting for 6 weeks, been to 2 different areas protesting and have never seen any violence, or any kind of destruction of property. Those who make these accusations have clearly not seen first hand the real story. They just continue to listen to the main stream media who is also owned by big corporations! Wake up people! I dont want any freebees or handouts. I want a government that works for us the people instead of a government that works for a giant corporation. I am the 99% and will continue to stay involved. Those who dont get involved and just want to complain dont have a right to complain. Those people are the lazy ones.
How does anyone scream "I am the the 99%!" and keep a straight face (without meds)? Hilarious.
@Preston- Hippies didn't exist in the 30's and 40's- especially in Nazi Germany.
@Jake511- What's hilarious is the fact that I will bet that you have yet to see first hand what Occupy is all about. Are you the type like so many lazy Americans that just sit around on the sidelines where you think its safe and criticize what you THINK you know? I would love to hear what you have to say about the 99% after you go to an Occupy. Oh wait, I'll bet with a name like Jake you live on a farm in an area where everyone looks and thinks like you do and is out of touch with the real world. You wanna throw out insults from you little computer with you little fingers? I can play that game too bro!
