Jon before the bloody crash

Jon was riding second to the eventual winner of the MadCross, Jonathan Page, before he crashed and cut his ankle and needed 15 stitches. He is to be racing today, but I have seen no results.
At Jonathan Pages Planet Bike Cup the elite men’s race was won by no other than Jonathan Page himself. The race turned into a one-man show after Jonathan Baker (Vitamin Cottage) sliced open his ankle forcing him out of the race and Todd Wells (GT) had to make two stops in the pit and chase back from deep in the field. Michael Mueller also riding for Planet Bike took second. Bjorn Selander (Ridley) and Todd Wells (Clif Bar) battled all race but Selander held on for 3rd. Troy Wells (GT) fought back throughout the race working his way through the large field to grab 5th place.

They only mention injuries of important riders, so obviously Jon is getting to be important.
