Brammeier faces a recovery of at least six to eight weeks before he can start riding, and he’s not expected to return to competition this season, according to a statement released by his team.
“It’s looking like my season is well and truly over,” Brammeier is quoted in the team statement. “So I’m looking forward to return hungry in 2016.”
Team doctor Jarrad van Zuydam said Brammeier is recovering well so far.
