CDR Yamaha won’t be in attendance at this weekend’s final round of the 2013 Australian Supercross Championship, team owner Craig Dack has revealed.

The team has been thwarted by injury woes during the latter stages of the year, with Lawson Bopping recovering from a knee injury that forced him out of Phillip Island and Kade Mosig healing a broken wrist sustained at that same event.

Dack has decided that due to the team’s fitness concerns and an expensive campaign to date, CDR Yamaha will send Bopping solo, working out of the factory-supported GYTR Yamaha pit if he opts to return from injury for the event.

“We are not doing it as a team,” Dack told MotoOnline.com.au. “Just the cost of doing it and it’s been an expensive series this year anyway. Our results have been fairly poor, Lawson hasn’t done a heap of riding since the middle of motocross and he’s way down in the championship.

“If he wants to do it we are going to allow him to do it, but we won’t support it as a team. We will have the bike sent up there and he will be part of the Under 19s team with Scott Bishop and his mechanics.

“It’s a catch-22 if we really want to let him do it because he is not 100 percent fit, but we will leave that up to him to decide.”

Bopping is currently 13th in the standings despite only scoring points in Darwin’s first two rounds of the depleted SX-Open series.

It’s expected Bopping will exit the CDR Yamaha team ahead of 2014 after two mixed seasons aboard the YZ450F, but Dack said the team is yet to firm its plans for next year at this point.

Dack did recently confirm however that MX Nationals number three Billy Mackenzie will likely return for a second outdoor season at CDR Yamaha in 2014 (click here for details).
