An injury update has been provided on Gage Linville following his nasty crash in qualifying at the Philadelphia Supercross 250SX East/West Showdown, as it’s been confirmed he suffered a concussion, a small fracture in his back, a broken rib and plenty of bruising to his shoulder and lungs.
“We are happy to report that team rider Gage Linville was discharged from the hospital last night around 9pm after a lengthy evaluation and examination to check the severity of Gage’s injuries. Apart from a pretty gnarly concussion, Gage suffered bruising to his shoulder and lungs, as well as a small fracture in his back. He will follow up with some specialists this upcoming week to create a timeline for his recovery. The ups and downs of this sport are pretty tough, but we’re relieved that Gage’s injuries are nothing worse than reported! Prep for the Pro Motocross series will begin for Gage in a few weeks once he’s back to 100%.”
“Man, the sport can be brutal! Felt good throughout the day and was looking to have a good night. Thankfully it’s no worse than it is. Ended up with a concussion, broken rib, bruised lung, super bruised shoulder and a fracture in my back. Going to take some time off to let everything heal the right way and will have an update later in the week on the next steps! Huge shoutout to the team and everybody who checked in on me!”
