He received a shoulder injury in Toronto, Canada, after crashing in the whoops section. He had surgery to repair the injury, causing him to miss the rest of the Monster Energy Supercross series as well as the entire Lucas Oil Pro Motocross season.
2015
In 2015, Cianciarulo did not race any races in the Monster Energy Supercross series because of another shoulder injury that he received while racing at the Geneva Supercross in Switzerland. He raced only 6 of the 12 races in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series due to another shoulder injury that he received while practicing for Red Bud. Cianciarulo was having a somewhat successful year, getting on the podium once before his injury.

He parted way with his longtime trainer, Aldon Baker, and has started a new program.[3] Early February, Monster Energy/ Pro Circuit/ Kawasaki reported that Cianciarulo had broken his wrist while practicing. This caused him to miss the entire Monster Energy Supercross series. Cianciarulo was healthy in time for the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series, and finally finished a full season. He ended the year with 6 overall top 10’s, landing on a moto podium once.
2017

He raced the entire Monster Energy Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series, the first time in his career he had done so. In supercross, he earned 2 races wins; at his "Home" race at Daytona and the series finale in Las Vegas. In Pro Motocross Cianciarulo earned his first career overall at Budds Creek.
2018
In 2018, Cianciarulo had another successful Supercross season, finishing on the podium 7 times and getting 1 win at the series finale in Las Vegas. He announced on the podium in Las Vegas that he would miss the entire Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series to have surgery on a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in Indianapolis in 2017.[4]
2019
In 2019, in Glendale, Cianciarulo earned his 7th career win during his time in the series and his 1st win of the 2019 season. He came close to winning the 250sx West championship, finishing the season with 6 podiums and 5 wins, but ultimately lost the championship to Dylan Ferrandis after a crash late in the final race.
