Scott Russell’s planned return to action at an AMA National has been delayed by the discovery of an infection in a bone in his injured left arm.

Russell planned to ride in practice this Friday at Pikes Peak, during the AMA Pro weekend. Instead, he underwent surgery and has been forced to put his return to official AMA (practice) action on hold.

Russell’s plan to return to actual AMA competition at Virginia International Raceway at the end of September may still be fulfilled, however.
