Brian Bogers van het Fantic Factory MXGP team raakte op zaterdag in de kwalificatieheat van de MXGP in Indonesie geblesseerd aan zijn schouder. Bogers sprong tekort op een triple waarna zijn schouder uit de kom schoot.
Ondanks dat de schouder snel terug in de kom is gezet en er op het eerste gezicht niet veel schade is te zien, is besloten om vandaag en volgend weekend niet van start te gaan in Indonesie.
Bogers zal zo snel mogelijk terug keren naar Nederland om zich hier verder te laten onderzoeken.
Lees hieronder het uitgebrachte persbericht:
Fantic Factory Racing MXGP’s Brian Bogers will miss the upcoming MXGP races in Indonesia after dislocating his left shoulder in the qualifying race on Saturday.
Brian Bogers, who sits ninth in the MXGP championship standings despite missing the first two rounds of the season, was running in third on the opening lap of the qualifying race when he came up short on a jump and dislocated his left shoulder due to the hard landing. The shoulder joint was quickly put back in place on site.
The Dutchman will now travel home for a medical check. He will sit out today’s races and also miss the second part of the Indonesian double-header on the island of Lombok scheduled next weekend. Further updates will be shared when available.
Vitaliy Tonkov, Fantic Factory Racing MXGP Team Manager:
“As you might have seen, Brian had a good start in Saturday’s qualifying race but after half a lap he came up short on a jump and his shoulder popped out. They put it quickly back in and it looked like the injury was probably not too bad but to be sure, this morning we decided not to race today and also not next weekend. Brian will go home instead to check everything and to be able to get the best treatment to prepare for the next races.”
