Justin Cooper to Miss Thunder Valley and High Point

Justin Cooper has announced that he will miss the upcoming AMA Pro Motocross rounds at Thunder Valley and High Point due to injuries sustained in a severe crash during the second moto at Hangtown. Although he is making progress in his recovery, Cooper is not yet fit to compete in the next two events. This marks a significant interruption in his career, as it is the first time he has missed a race since turning professional in 2017. The crash at Hangtown was a major setback for Cooper, who has been a consistent presence in the championship. His decision to prioritise recovery highlights the seriousness of his condition, despite positive signs of healing. The rider and his team are hopeful that he will be ready to return by the fifth round at RedBud, which would allow him to rejoin the competition after a brief hiatus. Cooper’s absence will undoubtedly impact the dynamics of the championship, as he is a strong contender and fan favourite. His withdrawal opens opportunities for other riders to capitalise on his absence in the next two rounds. Fans and competitors alike will be watching closely to see how his recovery progresses and whether he can regain his competitive form upon his return.
