Jed Beaton Out of MXoN

The 2016 Motul MX2 Champion announced yesterday via social media that he has suffered a broken collarbone after crashing during a training session at Lommel, home of the MXGP of Belgium. The announcement comes two weeks after MX1 rider Kirk Gibbs suffered was forced to miss MXoN due to a broken femur from a crash while training for The 2016 Australian Supercross Championship.

2016 was going to be the Tasmanian’s debut appearance in the MX2 team at MXoN.

ADB wishes Jed a speedy recovery and we hope to see him back on the bike as soon as possible.

Devastated to say that I won’t be throwing on the green and gold to represent my country at MXON I had a small crash on Friday riding at Lommel and fractured my collarbone. Very sorry to everyone that made this possible and so sorry to let everyone down.
