Hammaker Out With Injuries
Cycle News Staff | January 21, 2022
Seth Hammaker, who was enjoying a great start to the 2022 250SX West Supercross Series, suffered an injury that will sideline the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki Team rider indefinitely. Hammaker announced on social media that he crashed during the week and suffered significant injuries.
Seth Hammaker is currently tied for second in the 250SX West Supercross Championship.
Hammaker said, “Hey guys I hate to post this news but unfortunately this week I had a practice crash getting ready for San Diego. Grade 3 spleen laceration and compression fractures in T7 and T8 in my back. I’m gutted to say the least. The team and I have been working hard to bring our best every weekend. I appreciate there support through all of the good and bad! The main goal now is to heal up right and completely before we get back to racing. I will keep y’all informed of how long I will be out as we know a little more. Thanks to everyone for the support I will be back better and stronger.”
Hammaker rode well enough to get on the podium in both the Anaheim 1 and Oakland Supercross rounds and was hoping to continue his podium streak tomorrow in San Diego. The Florida resident is currently tied for second in the championship with Hunter Lawrence.
