Dean Ferris breaks femur in Brazil
Reports came flooding through from Goias this morning that Australian rider, Dean Ferris, broke his right femur in a crash during the Grand Prix of Brazil.
The Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing rider’s weekend ended abruptly in race two, after claiming a solid sixth in the opening moto.
“This is a very unfortunate end to our season” said Red Bull IceOne Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager, Antti Pyrhönen. “Dean fell and broke his right femur in the second moto and will undergo surgery to fix the break. We will release an update on Dean’s condition following his surgery.”
Ferris will be unable to represent Team Australia at this year’s Motocross of Nations, taking place in Latvia later this month. It’s suspected that Chad Reed (MX1) and Matt Moss (Open) will now be joined by 2014 Monster Energy MX Nationals champion, Luke Clout, as he was named the official MX2 reserve when the squad was announced last month.
Stay tuned for further developments.
