Jabouri sidelined

From Jabouri Racing

TORONTO, ON -- Adam Jabouri had what appeared to be a minor crash while practicing SuperMoto last Wednesday. Unfortunately, he was in obvious pain and was taken to Soldier's Memorial Hospital in Orillia, where he was diagnosed with a burst spleen. He was then taken by ambulance to Toronto Sick Children's hospital, where he is receiving some of the best care available in the world.

Adam was expected to be released yesterday under strict doctor's orders: no physical activity until he is cleared.

"I'm bummed out that I'll miss the rest of the season," commented Adam, "but I'll still come out to the races and help coach my brother. Also, special thanks to Gary McAdam for taking me to the hospital after my crash."

Adam's brother Jamie, 10, will be testing Adam's Kawasaki KX85 before the next round of the national series and if that test proves successful, he will ride Adam's bikes for the rest of the season.

The next round, in Sarnia, ON Aug. 13-14, will be a huge event, with multiple races and a big influx top U.S. racers. Please visit www.festivalofhorsepower.com for more information.
