The US factory Yamaha team will be without both its riders for the weekend’s Monster Cup in Las vegas as new signing Davi Millsaps fractured his elbow in a crash at a test track at the end of last week. Millsaps was kept in for three days for observation and will have surgery soon. And his team-mate Cooper Webb is also out of the race as had had surgery on his injured thumb recently.
Millsaps joined Yamaha very recently after two years on a Rocky Mountain KTM and was due to make his race debut this weekend.
