Due to a broken hand, Jason Anderson and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing have stated that the rider would miss multiple Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship rounds in 2021. The injury occurred on Thursday after a practice session collision in New Mexico, and it is likely to take six weeks to recover.

A mechanical issue (snapped chain) on a jump a few moments into a training moto, Anderson stated on Instagram, caused the mishap. El Hombre wrote in the caption,  “Started my first Moto this morning at practice and off of a jump my chain snapped, something completely out of my control,” El Hombre said in the caption. “I broke my hand and knocked some teeth out. I gotta get it all handled on Monday (recovery timeline) and I will be back racing these outdoors at the end of the season. Sorry to my team and all the supporters but damn 2021 been a rough year for me. Let’s end this shit on a good note though!”

This is disappointing for Anderson, who rode to a fourth-place overall finish in the 450 Class at the 2021 Fox Raceway One Motocross last weekend, but it’s not the first time he’s been injured just a few days into the summer season. In 2018, a collision with a slower rider at a public practice track resulted in a compound fracture to his foot (which occurred shortly before the second round of the Pro Motocross season), and a wild get-off in the mud at the 2020 Loretta Lynn’s Two bent a plate in his arm, requiring surgery.

Anderson’s comment about “racing the outdoors at the end of the season” is significant, as they would be his final races with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing. The rider and the team were unable to reach an agreement during contract discussions, and Anderson is anticipated to join the Monster Energy Kawasaki team in 2022.
