Bad news from the Honda HRC Progressive camp as Chance Hymas is officially out for the remaining rounds of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. The 250 contender fell in the first turn on Saturday night at round three, Anaheim 2, and suffered a shoulder injury which requires surgery. Hymas injured his left labrum and already has surgery scheduled for Friday January 30th. He is expected to be back on the bike in eight weeks and fully recovered for the outdoor Pro Motocross season.
“It wasn’t the best start on my end, but I was still in a decent position coming into the first corner,” Hymas explained. “Another rider crashed, which ultimately took me down as well. Unfortunately, when I put my arm out to catch myself, I put it in a weird position and ended up dislocating my shoulder. It’s devastating on my end going through everything I went through to get back into racing shape, but fortunately I have a good group of people around me that support me 100%. All things considered, the team and I decided it’s in my best interest to get my labrum repaired this Friday and turn my focus to being 100% healthy and ready for outdoors.”
Hymas won his heat race on Saturday night and had a second and a sixth place finish going into round three. He now joins other Honda teammates Jo Shimoda (back) and Jett Lawrence (ankle) on the injured reserve list.
