After taking the round victory and championship lead in round 1 of the VRRC at Phillip Island, Harley 'Sauce' Side's championship quest has been dealt a severe blow that will see him miss round 2 at Tailem Bend.
An unfortunate spill while training on his Motocross bike landed Harley with a nasty concussion. The most important thing is that he is OK, and he is well on the road to recovery. Another concussion so close could be quite harmful to his wellbeing, while the risk off another concussion at the Bend is pretty low, it is not a risk rider OR team are prepared to take. Trophies in the cabinet are absolutely great, it will suck that we'll miss a full round and in a 4 round championship it makes a championship victory extremely unlikely.
As much as it sucks, this is the right call. The health and wellbeing of our favorite condiment is all that matters right now.
Harley is doing well, he is easing himself back into work and getting back to his normal self. He will be staying back and cheering on the rest of the team from home and the workshop.
Thanks to all for the well wishes for our little Sauce Man.
