Mitch Evans and Aaron Tanti Injury Update | News

Serco Yamaha’s Mitch Evans and Bulk Nutrients WBR Yamaha’s Aaron Tanti we involved in a horrible accident during SX2 Heat Race 2 on Saturday night at the AUS-X Open.

The two riders crossed paths during the rhythm section and Evans landed on the back of Tanti. Both riders were attended to by Racesafe medical crews and taken off the track for further medical care.

The next morning, Evans and Tanti posted updates to social media. Evans reported he had suffered “fractures in my L2, L3, & L4 and 2 fractures in my pelvis!”, while Tanti said, “so far I’ve found out I’ve fractured my scapular, and my L4 in my back aswell as my hip.”

We wish both riders a speedy recovery!
