MNSS RACER RYAN VILLOPOTO SUFFERS SX SEASON INJURY AT ST. LOUIS

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto is recovering after a successful initial surgery to ’set and stabilize’ his broken right leg and a second additional surgery once the swelling subsided. The unfortunate injury occurred when Villopoto crashed while leading the St. Louis supercross event. “This is heartbreaking for both Ryan and the team,” said Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Manager Mike Fisher. “RV was going for the championship and riding really well. It’s a shame this happened because Ryan has shown so much resilience this season while trying to attain his first supercross championship. I know Ryan will do everything he can to get back as soon as possible." Ryan wants to thank all his fans for their thoughts, prayers, and support during this tough time.
