CDR Rockstar Energy Drink Yamaha’s Jake Moss is recovering from a series of injuries sustained in Saturday night’s Campbelltown round of Monster Energy Super X.

After scoring a pair of third places in the first two races of the Triple Header main event, Moss was on part for his first podium of the season before crashing crashing heavily in the final moto.

He hit the ground and lay motionless on the track as paramedics rushed to his aid. He was then transported to hospital where his injuries were listed as a broken ribs, a punctured lung and a mild concussion.

It’s a devastating blow for Moss, who was just getting back to full fitness after early season injuries.

It was a case of mixed emotions for team manager, Craig Dack, with the taste of Jay Marmont’s victory was bittersweet as Jake Moss was being rushed away to hospital.

“I knew once we had a dry track that provided good racing, we had the fastest riders and the bikes to win,” Dack said. “And we were only two minutes away from proving that when Jake went down.

“Jake was also showing his best form of the season but a small mistake late in the final race bought him undone. It was a nasty fall, but thankfully his injuries don’t appear to be as bad as first expected.”

Moss has recently been in negotiations to return to the team in 2012, however his immediate future since the incident remains unclear at this point.
