Gareth Swanepoel is out for a month with cracked bones and a T12 compression in his back after Blake Baggett was unable to avoid the South African after he had crashed in the whoops whilst holding down a qualifying position during his heat at Houston.
"Luckily the injury is not as bad as it sounds and the doc says I should be cleared to ride after another check up in four weeks. The T12 compression was very slight so no worries there and the little "process wings" should grow back. Watching the video, it was a stupid crash but Bagget unfortunately had committed in the whoops and had nowhere to go and hit me square on. Even watching it now it knocks the wind out of me. I really enjoy riding supercross and can't wait to get back on the track again. Injuries are a part of our sport so my focus will be to get healthy and ready to race," vowed the optimistic South African.
