Chase Sexton confirmed he suffered a **mild concussion** and has a **weak right shoulder after the incident.
In a post on social media, he thanked fans for their support and said he would have the shoulder checked “this upcoming week.”
The crash occurred after what the KTM team believes was a **mechanical failure**—specifically, debris in the rear brake system prevented proper braking, forcing Sexton to slow using only the front brake, which led to the crash. KTM’s team manager stated it was “neither rider nor mechanic error,” and they are investigating how to prevent such a failure in the future.
Because of the injury and recovery needed, Sexton has decided to **sit out the remaining two rounds of the Pro Motocross season** to be better prepared for the SuperMotocross (SMX) playoffs. ([NBC Sports][3]) He emphasized the need to “come in at 100%” for SMX.
In short: concussion, shoulder injury, mechanical issue implicated, and a decision to pause competition for recovery ahead of SMX.
