Update from Montreal SX

Hi everyone!

Looks like we have an internet connection at Olympic Stadium so we will do our best to update throughout the evening.

There were a few big accidents in practice today. Simon Homans, who is wearing his MXdN helmet, crashed hard and was carried off the track. Reports are that he may have injured his knee but he tried to ride his qualifer.

Blair Morgan crashed and suffered a concussion. He is out for the night. Kyle Keast also hit his head and was groggy for a while but will race tonight.

Dusty Klatt injured his leg/ankle this week and elected not to race. Darcy Lange did not make the trip but will race the arenacross next weekend in Toronto at the Ricoh Centre.

The track is really fast with a few long straights and the whoop sections are very easy for a Supercross track. The one whoop section has turned into a rhythm section rather than a whoop section.

The are lots of American riders here and they are topping the 250 qualifiers. JSR will have his hands full but he is on-pace with the rest of the 250 class. The stadium is packed once again. About 50,000 crazy fans in attendance.

250 Qualifers just ended. Top eight to the main.
