KTM’S JAY MARMONT OUT FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS

KTM rider Jay Marmont suffered a serious practice crash while landing from a triple jump. His footpeg fell off and Marmont?s right leg took the full impact of his crash. Jay broke his right femur just above his knee brace. Marmont underwent immediate surgery at Wollongong Hospital where a metal rod was placed from his hip through his femur to his knee.

‘I had only just recovered from a snapped interior cruciate in my left knee that happened back in June, so to now break my right femur, I’m obviously extremely disappointed,’ said the Aussie. ‘I was going to take on the American 125 East Coast Supercross Championship with KTM next year, but it now looks like I’m going to miss the first few rounds. Doctors said it would take longer than it did for my earlier injury to my knee to recover, so hopefully my femur will also heal sooner than the proposed six months.’
