Following his crash at the second round of the FIM World Supercross Championship in Perth, Kaleb Barham has confirmed he sustained a broken wrist.
This injury signals the end of the season for the Australian, who had been thoroughly enjoying competing in WSX with the CDR Yamaha Monster Energy team and testing his skills against a host of elite riders from around the world.
“Sucks to be making this post, but unfortunately I had a crash at WSX resulting in a dislocated wrist with a couple of breaks. Obviously I am gutted, but as we all know, this is how the sport goes sometimes,” Barham lamented.
“Thankfully the Race Safe crew had me sorted until I was able to fly home and now I’m getting ready for surgery with Dr. Steve Andrews to let the body heal. Thank you to the CDR Yamaha Monster Energy Team, Yamaha Motor Australia and the Yamalube Yamaha team for this opportunity. Met some people I have looked up to my whole life, raced some of the baddest dudes on the planet and made some cool mates along the way.”
We wish him a speedy recovery as he shifts his focus towards 2025.
