Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Christian Craig will sit out Saturday’s Monster Energy AMA Supercross round at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, due to an unresolved injury.
The rider of the No. 28 machine recently re-aggravated an ongoing elbow injury, according to a statement from the team.Â
Craig’s original injury to his right elbow occurred early last season during a practice session in Glendale, Ariz. The 32-year-old proceeded to miss six rounds of the 2023 season and underwent multiple surgeries to repair the injury.Â
According to Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s latest press release, Craig will “now seek further medical advice as a result of re-aggravating the injury in recent weeks.”
After participating in press day at AT&T Stadium on Friday, Craig made the decision to sit out Saturday night’s event in order to focus on getting back to 100 percent.Â
“Christian’s elbow has been slowly getting a little more irritated over the past couple of weeks. On Thursday before coming to Arlington, it was at its worst and then he tried to ride press day, but it just wasn’t happening. He’s re-aggravated it and unfortunately will not be riding this weekend,” said team manager Nathan Ramsey.
“From this point, we will do everything we can to assess what’s going on and to get him back out there, back at full form as soon as possible.”
A return date was not given.Â
