Back at the Washougal National Autotrader.com / JGR / Suzuki’s Justin Hill nailed a tree pretty hard while battling for a 450 podium spot and he has been nursing his injuries ever since . We originally heard that Justin banged up his knee pretty good in the crash and would be back for the next round, but after riding the first session of qualifying at Unadilla he decided to sit it out with Mother Nature hammering the circuit.

We were thinking it was just the mud that kept Justin off the gate for Unadilla, but it’s sounds like we will not see the #46 until the finale at Ironman MX. “After receiving advice from my doctors, the @jgrmx team and I have made the decision to sit out Buddcreeks so that I may attempt to be 100% for Iron Man,” Justin said from his @JustinHill46 Instagram account. “Nagging injuries are never fun. This extra time off will surely help me return healthy for the remainder of racing as well as the off season development for 2019! Cheers everyone!”
