Motorex KTM’s Todd Waters will find out tomorrow morning whether he’ll be cleared to compete at this weekend’s fourth round of the 2013 Monster Energy MX Nationals.

The 22-year-old has a 44-point lead in the MX1 title race after sweeping the opening three rounds, however a crash during Leyburn’s Sunshine State round last weekend has him in jeopardy for Sunday.

Waters suffered a substantial head knock in the incident (click here for earlier report), now awaiting clearance from Suzuki RACESAFE.

“Todd’s kind of fifty-fifty right now,” said team manager Roby Twyerould. “Last week he crashed and knocked himself out at a Sunny State round and now it’s down to the guys at RACESAFE to see if he’ll be okay to ride.

“He’s had a CT scan and MRI and seen a neuro surgeon and we’ll leave it in the hands of the experts to make the decision on Saturday. He says he’s feeling great so from his perspective it’s positive.”

Waters remains hopeful that he’ll be able to line-up on Sunday at Broadford.

“I’ve had all the tests and the medics are confused as to how a brain that big can fit in a human skull – at least that’s what I’m telling people!” he joked.

“Before I’m allowed to race this weekend RACESAFE will examine the results of the test I’ve done this morning checking memory, reaction time and problem solving over 40 minutes. I feel great though, nothing’s changed there so hopefully that’s a good sign.”
