Jesseman out with broken arm.

2003 125 East Supercross Champion Branden Jesseman sustained a fracture of the right radius during Saturday practice at Spring Creek Motocross Park in Millville, Minnesota.

The fracture, which is just above the wrist, will sideline Jesseman for six to eight weeks. He is expected to make a complete recovery.

"I can't believe I'm injured again," sighed Branden. "I felt really good this weekend, and with the heat and all, I thought it was my weekend to hit the podium. I'm disappointed that I've missed most of the outdoor season. Outdoors is what I love. It's what I train for all year long, and I didn't get a chance to prove that this summer. I guess I'll just have to focus on winning the 125 West Supercross Championship next year."

Jesseman will undergo surgery to repair the injury at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) on August 26th. He will then undergo rehabilitation at the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine.
