JEFFREY HERLINGS OUT FOR THE SEASON 2020!

Scritto venerdì 9 Ottobre 2020 alle 11:32.


Saggiamente Jeffrey Herlings e il suo entourage hanno deciso che per questa stagione non si rientra in gara, l’infortunio subito a Faenza necessità di un buon recupero, così the Bullet fa sapere che non rientra in gara per la stagione GP MX 2020!

Auguriamo a Jeffrey il miglior recupero possibile!

 

Jeffrey Herlings: Ho deciso di restare fuori per il resto della stagione 2020. Per tutto l’anno ho lottato con un recente infortunio al piede e credo che sia la soluzione migliore per ottenere questo fixt prima di saltare di nuovo sulla moto arancione, quindi la prossima settimana avrò un intervento chirurgico per poter sperare di poter finalmente guidare di nuovo una dirtbike in 2 anni senza dolore. Il recente incidente è accaduto perché il mio piede si è staccato, dovevo appoggiarlo in modo diverso sulla pedana perché avevo sempre dolore ed è per questo che sono andato oltre il manubrio e sono caduto sul collo. In un’altra nota, la lesione al collo e alla schiena è completamente guarita.
Gli ultimi 2 anni sono stati difficili, a causa del piede non sono riuscito a dare il massimo. Credo che questo possa essere istemato e che avremo anni luminosi davanti a noi.
Per ora vorrei ringraziare tutti i miei sponsor e partner per aver creduto in me e contrattaccheremo in futuro. 💪

Jeffrey Herlings: I decided to sit out the rest of the 2020 season. All year I been struggling with a recent injury on my foot and I believe it’s the best solution to get this fixt before I jump back on the orange machine, so will have surgery on that next week to hopefully be able to finally being able to ride a dirtbike again in 2 years without pain. The recent crash happend because my foot came off as I had to put my foot differently on the pack as I always had pain and thats why I went over the handlebars and crashed on my neck. On a other note the neck and back injury is fully healed.
The last 2 years have been difficult, due to the foot I wasen’t able to perform at my best. I believe this can be fixt and that we will have bright years in front of us.
For now I would like to thank all my sponsors and partners for believing in me and we will strike back in the future. 💪

HERLINGS OPTS FOR CORRECTIVE FOOT SURGERY AND TO SIT-OUT THE REST OF 2020 MXGP

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing star Jeffrey Herlings will miss the remaining seven rounds of 2020 MXGP after choosing to focus on a full recovery from his injuries and face the off-season period closer to 100% fitness.

The 25-year old has healed from the neck and upper back problems suffered as a result of his crash during Free Practice for the Grand Prix Citta di Faenza at the Monte Coralli in Italy circuit last month. The Dutchman is lacking bike time and conditioning to be able to return to competitive MXGP duty, especially with the calendar hurrying to a conclusion by November 8th.

 
A contributing factor to the accident was the lack of flexibility and comfort in Herlings’ right foot. Therefore, the winner of four rounds this year (still more than any other rider) has decided to undergo a small procedure to remove excess bone growth and fix scar tissue on Thursday 15th of October.
 
If the operation and post-op period goes accordingly then Herlings will have much better use of his right limb and can immediately concentrate on preparation with his KTM 450 SX-F for the 2021 campaign.
 
MX2 teammate Rene Hofer is also making decent steps from his broken left shoulder and hopes to be back on the KTM 250 SX-F in the next two months.
 
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing still have Tony Cairoli and Jorge Prado in contention for the 2020 MXGP title and Tom Vialle has held the red plate for 10 of the 11 rounds in MX2 so far.
 
Jeffrey Herlings: “It won’t be a big operation but the foot is a complicated part of the body and there is some extra bone growing where I broke it. It needs to be partly removed. I also have tissue that is painful and irritating. I should know after a couple of weeks if I will be pain-free or we need to look at another option to be good again. I want to have this done so I won’t be putting 2021 at risk. 2020 was going pretty well and it’s disappointing to miss out again because of injury but we’ve been through this process and at least now I can work on getting myself into even better shape for another go next season. Thanks to Red Bull KTM for all their support and to the fans for the messages.”
