Benny Bloss will miss final two Supercross rounds to arm, collarbone injury
Benny Bloss will miss the final two rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross season after suffering a fracture to his arm and collarbone while practicing for Round 16 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. A timetable for his return has yet to be announced.
"I am super, super bummed for Benny," said Liqui Moly Beta Team manager Carlen Gardner. "He has had a fantastic season representing the new 450 RX and we are in such a good spot with him and the bike. This sport likes to test your mental strength every day and all we can take from this situation is that we know the level Benny can get back to and better when he heals up.
"He will undergo needed surgery and begin the road to recovery. He will be supporting his teammate Colt [Nichols] over the next two rounds as we are still in full swing to better ourselves each weekend."

Bloss failed to advance into the Evening Program during the first two rounds of Supercross, but once he finally cleared that hurdle, he was in the Feature every weekend. His season was highlighted by a pair of top-10 finishes, which came at Daytona International Speedway on a hybrid track built on the frontstretch. His best finish on the Beta this season came two rounds ago when he was eighth at Nashville.
With 94 points, Bloss currently sits 14th in SuperMotocross World Championship points with a cushion of 52 points over 21st in the standings. The top 20 riders in combined Supercross and Motocross points at the end of the outdoor season automatically qualify for the three-round playoff season in September.
