No specific injury is confirmed, but we are hearing that Rockstar/Suzuki’s Nico Izzi went going under the knife today to repair a torn ACL. Obviously, we hope the ACL tear is just a rumor, but it is a solid source over at VitalMX that we are hearing from. This is a huge blow for the kid who looked like he was just getting his career back on track.

We also saw that GuyB over at VitalMX has been saying that he heard that Gareth Swanepoel was seen testing the Rockstar/Suzuki. Could he be Nico’s replacement? We will bring you more news as we get it.

Nico tweeted “Surgery Time” from @NicoIzzi341 earlier today with the photo below.
