Damage limitation for Tim in Teutschenthal

The repercussion of Gajser’s crash yesterday, was that he irritated the already sore bruising he sustained from his crash in the Latvian MXGP. In an attempt to ease the pain, Gajser received treatment from the HRC MXGP physiotherapist overnight and this morning and decided he would race today to retain as many points as he could. It was clear the Slovenian was suffering all day but he picked through the pack after two weak starts to take 11th overall.

We can confirm that Bobryshev had operation last night in which they plated his collarbone, we are still awaiting further news as to his return.

Tim Gajser:
This has been a tough weekend. Thinking about it, it has probably been one of the toughest weekends I have ever had. I have never ridden with so much pain before. I tried to take a good start, which was not easy to do in the position I was in. Then I just tried to pass as many guys as I can to take as many points as I can. At the end of the day I am quite happy that I took 12th and 10th riding with so much pain, atleast I took some solid points. I want to be upfront so I will go home now and see my doctor and I hope I can be ready for France.

MX2:

Michele Cervellin proved he is back on form this weekend as he took seventh overall in the MXGP of Germany today.

After starting the weekend off with a fourth in qualifying, it was clear the Italian had a point to prove after he had been off the pace in the last few GP’s whilst he recovered from a hand injury. In the first race, he pulled a career best start and got out of the gate in second. He held onto this position for much of the race until arm pump got the better of him which meant he fell back to sixth place as he crossed the line.

His second race start wasn’t as good but he made up for this quickly in the first corner, manoeuvring into fourth. A small mistake in the last five minutes of the race meant he dropped back into eighth and his result means he takes home 7th overall.

With his hand injury now firmly behind him and a solid result under his belt this weekend, Cervellin will be looking to carry this momentum into Ernee next week.
