Bernard Kerr & Ryan Griffith Injury After Training Crashing

Bernard Kerr has broken left wrist and right hand in a crash while preparing for the opening round of the 2025 Downhill World Cup next weekend.

Sharing the news, Kerr expressed his disbelief, saying he "still can't believe what has happened" after making "so many sacrifices going into a season with one purpose of putting everything into performing my absolute best."

"As I sit here writing this I still can't believe what has happened…my only positive thoughts are that I'm gonna be okay and life moves on, it could be a lot worse… Yesterday myself and Ryan Griffith had the identical crash about 20 seconds apart…. I’m a bit speechless and just so upset and disappointed for us both…go give him some love as his was a hugey!

I’ve personally never been so focused, worked so hard and made so many sacrifices going into a season with one purpose of putting everything into performing my absolute best… I’ve honestly never felt better. There’s a Full video on YouTube, but unfortunately, I have broken my left wrist and my right hand… I still can't believe I can’t just turn back time and do it again… I’m heartbroken more than I knew before… but like I say, I know we will be able to come back from this. Thank you so much to all our sponsors and fans and just everyone that supports us and wills us on…this is not the end just a slight setback." - Bernard Kerr

Kerr’s Pivot Factory Racing teammate, Ryan Griffith, also crashed at the same spot and was knocked unconscious for 40 seconds.

"I had a bit of a freak accident yesterday. It was the last lap of the day. Me and Bernard Kerr both crashed in the exact same spot about 20 seconds apart. I was knocked out for a good 40 seconds, but got pretty lucky for the most part. A plastic surgeon fixed me up for 3 hours last night so looking a bit better haha. Really bummed but hopefully this will be a quick recovery and can get racing soon! Healing vibes to Bernard Kerr, that was a rough day for us both. Thank you to everyone who helped me get off that hill yesterday. We’ll be back in no time." - Ryan Griffith

We wish Bernard Kerr and Ryan Griffith all the best hoping see them riding again soon.
