“I didn’t get the greatest start, and I caught up to I think seventh, and I was just passing [Cody] Cooper for sixth. And Reed was right in front of me in fifth. That was the best I’d ridden all year, because I actually caught both of them. I was just going down a straightaway in a deep rut and my left foot caught and twisted all the way backwards and I felt it break. I didn’t crash, but I knew it was broke. Luckily it was only the fibula, so as soon as I got home I went straight to Dr. Augustine. So he put a plate in it today and hopefully I’ll be back in like six weeks. I’m hoping to race the last five or six. Right now I’m in the best shape of my life, so I think I’ll still be in decent shape in six weeks. The bike is getting better every week and everyone is working hard on my team. I would’ve probably moved into the top five in points after Texas, but that’s how it goes. I’m just bummed.”
