The Club confirmed the incident in a Facebook post: “As the day ends on the 2019 St. Lucia Moto X Club season opener we would like all to join us in prayer for our two riders injured today. #44 Oswald “Official” Simon and #100 Jah Mallen Alcindor. Top finishers in Class A & B respectively last year injured on the track today. It was a damper for us on the much anticipated opener. The riders were so eager to show their best. Their skill. Their joy and it was shut down so quickly. Both riders are currently at the hospital undergoing test and we are looking forward to a speedy recovery from them. Please share and keep them In your prayers.”
