Thomas Brown Taking Time Off to Heal Injured Hand

Thomas Brown has been racing injuried since his crash at Monster Mountain, and after discovering fractures in his hand, he has decided to take a weekend off to hopefully get back to 100% at Red Bud MX

Thomas injured his hand in a crash in Round 6. According to Thomas’ doctors, he has several small fractures in his hand that need time to heal. Thomas doesn’t need surgery, and he plans to be back in action at RedBud MX in Buchanan, MI.

“During the first moto in Alabama the bike fell out of gear on the face of a big triple on the fourth lap,” explained Thomas. “It was definitely a wreck I shouldn’t have gotten up from, so I got lucky there. Every time I’ve ridden since it’s been painful, and I couldn’t quite grip the bars the way I normally do. It’s been a struggle the last few weeks. I knew I needed to get it looked at. We got some answers and while they weren’t the perfect answers, it could have been a lot worse.”

Thomas’ doctors believe the time off will help heal the fractures and get him back into racing shape.

“We’ll come out swinging at RedBud,” said Thomas. “Giving it a weekend off and then a few more weeks after that should help reduce some of the pain I’m experiencing. This was a difficult decision to make, but it had to be made.”
