During moto one of the Glen Helen National, Troy Lee Designs / KTM’s Mitchell Oldenburg crashed and injured his shoulder. It was later determined that Mitchell suffered a cracked collar bone and will now be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time to let it heal properly. “My doctor, the team, and myself thought it would be best to take the plate that I have in my shoulder out and give the bone plenty of time to heal up properly and back to 100% so we don't run into these types of issues in the future,” said Mitchell from his @Freckle_28 Instagram. “At this time I'm not sure when I will be back at the races, but I'm hopeful to be back before outdoors finishes up!”

Just a little update for everyone.. On Saturday at Glen Helen I crashed which resulted in a very minor crack in my collar bone. My doctor, the team, and myself thought it would be best to take the plate that I have in my shoulder out and give the bone plenty of time to heal up properly and back to 100% so we don't run into these types of issues in the future. At this time I'm not sure when I will be back at the races, but I'm hopeful to be back before outdoors finishes up! I can't thank everybody in my corner enough for their continued support! @tld_moto @redbull @gopro @ktmusa @tylarattray @bobwalker_connxns @ryanhagy #chiefkeefe
