In an unexpected and disappointing turn of events, Team H35’s Benny Solis will sit on the sidelines for the next 5 weeks. Unfortunately, this downtime coincides with the final AMA Pro Road Racing event in New Jersey.
It is no secret that Benny maintains a rigid training regimen. It is a rare day that he is not on a motorcycle, in the gym, or out for a spin on the bicycle. Part of his training includes travelling to Mexico several times a year, for road racing as well as motocross. On Friday the 29th of August, he was doing practice laps on a fast and flowing Mexican dirt course. A hard crash happened which resulted in fractures in BOTH his legs!!!
Benny was able to get in front of a doctor very quickly which led to an operation and a flight home to North Hollywood, California.
Team H-35 wishes Benny a quick and thorough recovery.
Benny Solis – #35
“I feel quite disappointed about the whole situation because I really wanted to race the final AMA round. But anytime we are training on a motorcycle there is risk and things like this can happen. We went to operation right away…but unfortunately I won’t be able to race as soon as Jersey. I’m happy though that I’m ok, doctor said I should be good in 4-5 weeks.
“I just want to thank my dad, Humberto Baca, my team, and all my sponsors from this season who helped me out…without them I wouldn’t have raced this season. I’ll be resting a lot and recuperating as fast as I can, I have some races in Mexico this season that I’m looking forward to.”
