Post season surgery for Strijbos

The season is officially over for Kevin Strijbos after the last round of the MXGP World Championship took place at Imola. The Belgian also had his last race for the Standing Construct KTM team so the future is rather unknown for him, will that his be his last ever GP? It remains to be seen.

Strijbos has been dealing with injuries this year and requires surgery on his elbow to get it fixed. His elbow had been troubling him throughout the course of the season but now the season is over he can go under the knife.

Strijbos posted the following message on social media:
