2023 OAKLAND SUPERCROSS PRE-RACE REPORT: TV SCHEDULE, INJURED LIST & MORE
The 2023 Oakland Supercross is up next as the Monster Energy Supercross series has just made the trek from Anaheim 2, to Houston, Texas, to Tampa, Florida, and now all the way back to Oakland, California (this weekend) to complete the round which was originally postponed from January 14th, to February 18th, due to heavy rain and flooding in Northern California. To make matters even tougher on the riders, team and staff, who are traveling to every race, the series will turn back around and head to Arlington, Texas, next weekend.
Originally, this weekend was supposed to be an “off weekend” for Supercross, but it’s not filled with the rescheduled Oakland SX. This weekend marks the return of the 250 West division with riders like Jett Lawrence, Cameron McAdoo, RJ Hampshire, Levi Kitchen and more ready to take the track again after two weeks off. It’s also an intense weekend for the 450SX class with Cooper Webb coming in hot off his first win while Chase Sexton tries to redeem himself after last weekend’s late-race crash, and Eli Tomac tries to redeem himself after an uncharacteristic fifth in the 450 Main.

2023 OAKLAND SUPERCROSS TRACK MAP
The most notable section of the Oakland track layout is the seemingly “never ending rhythm section.” After the second turn, the rhythm section is continuous through two corners. It’s very interesting!

INJURY REPORT:
CARSON MUMFORD – (INJURY UNKNOWN)
Carson Mumford was slated to race for BarX Suzuki this year, but a bike malfunction in pre-season training caused him to crash and break his wrist. Then, once Austin Forkner was injured at Anaheim 1, Carson got the call to fill-in at Pro Circuit Kawasaki in the 250 West Coast division, starting this weekend at Oakland. Unfortunately, he suffered a setback while training. The injury hasn’t been publicly announced, but Pro Circuit said that he will not race this weekend. Instead, Carson sets his sights on Seattle Supercross, March 25th.
DYLAN FERRANDIS – CONCUSSION
Dylan Ferrandis hit his head hard in the 450 Main Event at Houston and caused the red flag early in the race. He was knocked out for a few minutes, but then he woke up and got off the track with the help of the Alpinestars medical team. He missed Tampa and he will miss Oakland as well.
NICK ROMANO – KNEE
Nick Romano shared on Instagram over a week ago that he will miss the entire 2023 season, both Supercross and motocross. Nick tore his ACL and meniscus in his knee and is preparing to have surgery.
MALCOLM STEWART – KNEE
Malcolm Stewart crashed while practicing after the San Diego Supercross and he tore his ACL. Malcolm just had surgery last week and is out for the foreseeable future.
JO SHIMODA – COLLARBONE
Jo Shimoda was slated to race 250 East Coast, but he broke his collarbone a week and a half before the Houston opener. We expect him to catch the end of the 250 East coast series.
MARVIN MUSQUIN – WRIST
33-year-old Marvin Musquin injured his wrist after Anaheim 1 and has missed San Diego, Anaheim 2, Houston and now he’ll miss Tampa.
SETH HAMMAKER – WRIST
Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker injured his wrist the same week as Jo Shimoda, leaving Mitch Payton’s team empty until Chris Blose got the fill-in ride.
JALEK SWOLL – BROKEN ARM
Just a week before the 250 East Coast regional Supercross championship kicked off, Jalek crashed and suffered a spiral fracture in his arm. Jalek has already undergone successful surgery and now he’s on the road to recovery.
AUSTIN FORKNER – KNEE
Austin Forkner injured his knee off the start of the 250 Main Event at Anaheim 1. He had surgery on it and is most likely out for the season.
GARRETT MARCHBANKS – ARM
Garrett also suffered an arm injury and has been in the process of recovering for quite some time and the ClubMX team hopes to have Garrett back at the races by Daytona.
