Hayden Mellross was a non starter at round two of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross at Glen Helen after injuries sustained at the opening round forced him to withdraw.
The CycleTrader.com, Rock River, Yamaha rider revealed that he had sustained a broken scapular (Small hand bone) at the opening round at the opening round at Hangtown last week. The incedent happened in the first 250 moto while the Australian was in a tense battle midpack.
"Unfortunately I will not be lining up tomorrow at Glen Helen. I took a hard crash at round 1 which has resulted in breaking my scapular," Mellross confirmed on social media.
"We are working hard to get healthy and back to 100%. A huge thank you to the team and everyone behind me, we will be back strong. Without pain, there would be no suffering. Without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering are key to all doors, without it, there is no way of life," Mellross lamented.
At this stage neither Mellross or his team have given any time line to an expected return.
