Christian Craig will miss much of the remaining supercross series to repair a broken wrist. The scaphoid bone (navicular) in his left wrist was fractured at the Southwick National and he had surgery to screw the broken bone. Unfortunately, the bone never healed properly and he will have to have it corrected.
Craig tried riding through the pain at the opener last weekend but it was just too much to deal with. The team hopes to have him back for the last three supercross rounds to start preparing for the outdoor nationals. The Troy Lee Designs/ Lucas Oil/ Honda team is 100% in support of Christian’s decision and we will be anxiously awaiting his return.

These West guys are dropping like flies.
Its the Four Strokes that are causing all of the injuries. Heavy Pigs with a high center of gravity. You can not recover as quick as you can on a 2 stroke.
BRING BACK THE 2 STROKES and lets have a lower injury year. The kids growing up today are going to be crippled.
Yeah, let's bring back the spastic two stroke, not. The two stroke is dead, give it up. If you wanna watch two strokes go to an Arenacross race...

that was one the dumbest things ive ever read, that is all.
good day
And here I thought it was crashing that caused all the injuries. Damn 4-strokes!!!!
Danny Storbeck was riding a 4-stroke all those years ago when he landed on RJ? Oh, wait....back on topic.......damn 4-strokes!!!
Little did we know that Henry was secretly on a prototype 4-stroke that sounded like a 2-stroke when he launched off "Henry Hill".
If you were there when Hannah broke his legs waterskiing, you would have seen a 4-stroke in the background giving him the evil eye.
I think it was a 4-stroke Evinrude on the boat Tripes was driving!
