At the start of the second motos at the Hangtown Motocross Classic—round two of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship—we saw two big crashes. In the second turn of moto two in the 250 Class, unfortunately Jeremy Martin went down, and his right arm was accidently run over by Husqvarna’s Talon Hawkins as a few other riders went down in a pileup in the right-hand corner. Martin got up and was sitting up holding his right arm as he rode off on the back of the Alpinestars medical cart. Martin was taken to a local hospital to diagnose the injury.
Watch the brutal crash on the Pro Motocross twitter.
His older brother Alex posted the following on his Instagram on Sunday morning, saying Jeremy had undergone surgery on a dislocated and broken right wrist.
“Update on the little man: He dislocated and broke his right wrist in the 2nd moto crash at Hangtown. He had surgery this morning to set and fix several things. He’s hurting pretty bad from this one. Hang in there Jerma!”
J-Mart finished 16-19 for 17th overall at the opener, suffering a crash but also stating afterwards he and the team had some work to do. At the second round, Martin finished 13th then 39th in the second moto for 16th overall. Tough luck for two-time 250 Class Pro Motocross Champion in just his second Pro Motocross event with the Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha team. There is no timetable on an expected return to racing. Heal up, champ!
