Breaking News: Garrett Marchbanks is Out for San Diego Supercross!
It's a tough blow for fans as Garrett Marchbanks will be sitting out the San Diego round of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship this Saturday. The announcement came this Friday afternoon via Monster Energy Kawasaki's Instagram, leaving many wondering what happened.
While details are still emerging, the team confirmed that Marchbanks suffered an injury during practice this week and, unfortunately, didn't pass concussion protocol. This news is especially disappointing considering the timing.
Marchbanks' absence comes after a challenging start to the season in Anaheim. He experienced a crash in the whoops during the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), ultimately preventing him from qualifying for his first 450SX main event with Monster Energy Kawasaki.
But here's where it gets controversial... Some might argue that the pressure of the new team and bike could be a factor. What do you think?
