ANAHEIM - Suzuki's Ryan Morais crashed moments into his AMA Supercross Lites' heat race, knocking him out of the Monster Energy FIM World Championship Round 3 at Angel Stadium on Saturday.

Morais, of Murrieta, went deep into Turn 5 on Lap 1 and was squeezed by Chad Flores and Cameron Rodriguez before falling on his right side.

"(Morais) got landed on so I hope he's all right," added Jake Weimer, who won the Lites main event.

Morais was down for several moments before being helped off by on-track personnel. He did not finish the race and failed to reach the starting gate for the Lites class last-chance qualifier, effectively ending his evening.

Attempts to reach Morais were unsuccessful. His status is uncertain for this week's event in San Francisco.

Morais was second in points behind Weimer heading into Round 3   Read Full Article...
