Boost Mobile/Troy Racing's Ivan Tedesco had a close call during Friday's practice. The Yamaha YZ125 rider landed well short over a tough triple jump, casing the third mound and hitting his chin on the handlebars. Tedesco had the chin stitched up later that afternoon and returned on Saturday like nothing had happened, clearing the triples with plenty of room to spare.
