Just before Anaheim 2 there was word that Ryder had a practice crash and details were pretty minimal. There were some rumors that someone on the scene said he was taken away in an ambulance, but other than a message from GasGas saying he did have a crash and would miss round 3 of racing there was no details on the extent of his injuries. From an update from the team and Ryder’s mom the crash sounds like it was a bad one and we hope that he is doing well on his road to full health.
In the following Instagram post, his mom mentions that there was lots of false information and rumors out there. From his crash he a multiple injuries that are a broken rib, the radial bone in his arm and suffered internal damage. The internal damage tore his small intestine and a piece had to be removed along with his appendix. He had surgery early on last Friday and everything went well and was discharged and is recovering now.

Due to the need for further assessment and to ensure the correct and most accurate information was shared, Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing, along with Ryder and his family, chose not to release specifics about his injury until all details were confirmed and he was released from the hospital.
Ryder was admitted to hospital on Thursday, January 23, after experiencing abdominal pain and what initially appeared to be a fractured arm.

He underwent surgery in the early hours of Friday, January 24, to address the internal abdominal damage.
We are pleased to share that Ryder has been cleared of any additional risk related to his abdominal issues and has been released from the hospital. However, his road to recovery is ongoing. Ryder will now consult with a specialist for his arm fracture, and his return to the bike and racing remains uncertain at this time.
