Marmont injured in Australia.
Red Bull KTM Supercross rider Jay Marmont has broken his right femur while training at his home in Wollongong, Australia - possibly ruling him out of the opening rounds of the 2006 AMA season.
Marmont was brought to the states last year to compete on the Red Bull KTM Supercross and Motocross team and was looking forward to competing in the East Coast Supercross Lites class early next year.
Jay will now be resting and recouping at his home in Australia for at least four weeks before he can begin physiotherapy.

"Jay is a talented Supercross rider, and continued to make great progress last year, constantly pushing himself to do better," said Larry Brooks, Red Bull KTM Supercross team manager. "He's a strong, young rider and we want to wish him the speediest of recoveries. We look forward to have him back with the team soon."
Marmont won the hearts of Australian Supercross fans in 2003 and 2004 by winning his the Australian Supercross Masters Championship back to back. He was then contracted by Red Bull KTM in 2005 to ride Supercross and motocross.
