Rocky Mountain ATV KTM Brit rider Max Anstie had a rough weekend at round seven of the AMA Supercross Championship, after crashing in the main event.
Taking to social media to release and update, Anstie explained what happened during the 450SX Main event below:
“Alright so I went down In the main on Saturday (pushed the front and slid out on the ramp of a little double and face planted the next jump) Long story short & the main thing is I only broke 2 ribs.” explained Max.
“They are the top 2 ribs and I didnāt even realise how high up your ribs go! So my neck and shoulder feels the worst at the moment. They kept me in hospital over night because I collapsed my lung and had air around my heart. Plus my heart was bruised and stressed. Anyway all that settled down and the collapsed lung was tiny so it fixed itself over night.”
“Iām still In Minneapolis, they wonāt let me fly back to Florida until Tuesday (tomorrow) So in reality itās only ribs so Iāll see how I am over the next few weeks but i’m pretty confident that I wonāt miss many races. Iāll heal up and be back out on the SX track asap. Itās a bummer but itās the name of the game. Had a lot of fun on track in Minneapolis, even did my first LCQ and led some laps. I know it was only an LCQ but still it was fun. Itās all part of it – I still love riding supercross.”
