Red Bull KTM’s Dean Wilson will undergo knee surgery next week after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in his knee during training on Thursday.

The injury will see the 450SX Class rookie ruled out for a long period of time, following just three rounds of the 2015 season alongside Ryan Dungey.

“As my results haven’t been the greatest I was excited to keep building my results better and better each weekend,” Wilson wrote on social media. “Yesterday was one of the toughest days I have had in my career.

“Just a normal Thursday training in the middle of my moto when I made a mistake at the KTM test track. I am so gutted and disappointed to say that I have torn my ACL and MCL and will be getting surgery next week.

“Yesterday while I was on the way to the hospital looking out the window at the mountains I was contemplating on quitting and just get a real job and live a normal life.

“It just seems to be a continuos streak lately and the disappointment is just killing me as a person, but I know how much I am capable of achieving and how much I love this sport when things are going good. Sometimes it can just be so cruel.

“I have the best sponsors and people that I can’t thank enough for there love and loyal support. And thanks to all my fans for the support too. I wish I could be racing this weekend, but god has another plan for me.”

Wilson currently sits 14th in the premier class standings ahead of the Oakland round this weekend.
