Guillod out of Imola!

Valentin Guillod has announced he will not participate in today’s Grand Prix in Imola after shoulder pain during Saturday qualifying.

The Swiss rider, who fractured his shoulder blade in Turkey, is due to race Red Bud next weekend and clearly doesn’t want to do any more damage.

Italian GP Quali Race. Some pain during the heat forced me to give up. In order to preserve my shoulder, I'm not going to take the start tomorrow. I thank my team @standingktm and sponsors for their comprehension and support. #MXGPItaly
