Joey Savatgy was already missing after hurting his ACL early in the season, but now Max Anstie and Shane McElrath have missed St. Louis and their future, along with the “BBMX” (Butler Brother’s MX Team) future is uncertain.
INJURED LIST:
DYLAN FERRANDIS | WRIST

CAMERON MCADOO | SHOULDER
Cameron McAdoo missed St. Louis after crashing during press day and he is also out for Atlanta. He posted: “Quick update. As most of you know last week during press day I had a small crash that resulted in a grade 3 AC separation. Unfortunately I will not be racing in Atlanta this weekend as my shoulder just isn’t strong enough yet to race competitive and safely. I am obviously very disappointed there is nothing I want more than to be out there racing and I have been feeling so good on the bike lately. We are doing everything possible to be back strong and racing ASAP! Thanks everyone for your support see you soon”
DEAN WILSON | DEEP LACERATION
Dean suffered one of the most horrific accidents we have seen this season. After crashing through the whoops at St. Louis, Dean caught his razor sharp footpeg in the process slicing open his lower area. It is unclear when or if he will be back soon, but our guess is that Dean will be sitting out Atlanta after going through multiple surgeries after St. Louis.
KEN ROCZEN | EPSTEIN-BARR
Ken Roczen is taking a break from the 2022 Supercross until further recovery from an ongoing illness. To read more up on the situation, CLICK HERE.

JOEY SAVATGY | KNEE
Joey Savatgy tore his ACL in his right knee during practice on Tuesday after Anaheim 1. He raced through the injury at Oakland and finished 11th, but a first turn crash in his Heat race at San Diego ended his night and season early. He then underwent surgery on his knee and is recovering now.
BENNY BLOSS | ANKLE/COLLARBONE
Benny Bloss switched from MotoConcepts Honda to Team Tedder KTM for 2022, but he was injured before the season. Benny has had surgery on his ankle and collarbone. He has been riding lately, but we are unsure when he will return to Supercross.
JOSH HILL | DISLOCATED HIP/BROKEN PELVIS
Josh Hill ended up with a dislocated hip and a fractured pelvis after crashing at the Anaheim 3 Supercross.
JUSTIN HILL | SHOULDER
Justin Hill planned to race this season, but a late December crash injured his shoulder and took him out.
JETT REYNOLDS | FRACTURED HAND
Jett Reynolds said via Instagram: “UPDATE from last weekend…. I was stoked to make my Supercross Debut in Minneapolis, with a unfortunate crash on Press day resulted a fractured hand that required surgery, I’m all fixed and recovering well now. Bummed this is the way it started out but what’s done is done and we’re moving forward not looking back, going to regroup get healed up and bounce back strong”
SETH HAMMAKER | LACERATED SPLEEN & FRACTURED T7/T8 VERTABRA
Pro Circuit’s Seth Hammaker had finished second in each of the first two rounds, but after a crash at the test track, he will be out of action for an undetermined amount of time.
JUSTIN COOPER | BROKEN FOOT
Sadly, the defending 250 West Coast Champion is out for the entire Supercross season in 2022. Read his post on Instagram below:
Justin Cooper stated: “Hey guys unfortunately I had a crash yesterday at the track. I got a little bit off line in a rhythm and didn’t get the lift for the next triple and cased it pretty hard which was fine. Almost had it saved and when I finally laid it down my foot got pinched under the footpeg. That being said it turns out i have broken and dislocated 4 metatarsals and have some fractures in the center of my foot as well. Will most likely get surgery early next week. Not the way I wanted to start the year off, everything has been going really good until this. This is called a Lisfranc injury and will probably put me off the bike for about 6 months. Tough pill to swallow but this is part of life and you have these obstacles. How you overcome these difficulties is what defines you. I’ll keep you guys updated once I know more, it’s all very fresh so just giving a quick update on what I know so far. I will be missing all of SX, hopefully will be good to go for MX”
COLT NICHOLS | INJURED BOTH ARMS
Colt Nichols crashed in the whoops while leading the first 250 Heat race of the night at Anaheim. Sadly, it ended his chances of battling for the 250 West Coast title this season.
