RJ Hampshire has undergone surgery on the foot injury that has left him sidelined in Monster Energy Supercross since Seattle, continuing to work on his recovery and a return to competition.

The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider was ruled out of Glendale through illness, before missing Seattle and Arlington with a fractured right foot.

A brief update on social media confirmed that he had an operation on the injury this past week: ‘Surgery last week to get the middle bone plated. Working to be back soon’.

After impressing through Pro Motocross and the SMX post-season on debut in the premier class last year, Hampshire is in his first full season of 450SX competition, achieving a best result of ninth at Anaheim 2 prior to his injury.
