We heard rumors last night, and today the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team confirmed that we have lost the 2018 450SX Monster Energy Supercross Champion, Jason Anderson, indefinitely to a major injury. Jason now joins Zach Osborne, on the injured list for the team as well as Motoconcepts Malcolm Stewart and JGR’s Weston Peick who are also on the sidelines with injuries.
