Opportunity Hymas injures knee in High Point Nationals occurrence
Opportunity Hymas dabbed his right knee on the final lap of Moto 2 of the High Point Nationals and will be examined today. Honda HRC has not yet supplied a timeline for his return.Tom Vialle passed Hymas on the last lap of the second race, and with that relocation, Hymas dropped to 4th in the general standings. It is unlikely he would have had the ability to perform his podium interview in any occasion. Hymas rode straight to the Honda HRC hauler and was assisted off the bike. Hymas has a history of ACL injuries
, however his previous two knee injuries were to his left knee.”All we understand today is that his ideal knee, certainly something’s going on there, “Lars Lindstrom said on the SMX Expert post-race show.” Unfortunately, we know a lot about these injuries with the other riders that we have actually worked with and then, undoubtedly, Jett [Lawrence] this year. so, I’m not really sure precisely, the diagnosis, obviously. It looks like the ACL seems undamaged, however we have actually said that previously. So, today, we just know that his best knee is definitely hurt and we’re going to need to go see an expert and see exactly what is going on.”
Hymas won his 2nd Pro Motocross overall the previous week with an ideal round in which he was fastest qualifier in both sessions, earned holeshots in both motos, and led every lap on his way to a 1-1 sweep.
High Point did not go as well. Hymas finished fifth in the first moto before recovering to ride 2nd in most of Moto 2.
“It was a rough day for me at High Point– I went 5-3 in the motos, but on the last lap of the 2nd moto, I dabbed my good leg, and now I’m handling a great deal of pain in my ideal knee,” Hymas said in a news release.
