Tonus ruled out of Des Nations – Swiss name their replacement
Arnaud Tonus has been out for the season but recently got back on the bike and he’d have hoped to get back to the races before the end of the season.
The Wilvo Yamaha rider has decided against travelling to the Motocross Des Nations that will take place at RedBud later in the season as he’ll only be at 90% strength and for such a high level event he’d prefer to be 100%.
Killian Auberson will partner Valentin Guillod and Jeremy Seewer at RedBud for Team Switzerland.
The Swiss Des Nations team posted the following update on social media:
“I really wanted to race in Red Bud.
After all those months without lining up behind a gate, it was my goal to help the Team Switzerland to get a podium.
Sadly I will only be at 90% of my strength, and it will be way too dangerous at that level of riding.
I wish the best to Jeremy, Valentin and Killian, I’m sure they will do good. Killian rode awesome this year, between US Supercross, MX2 in Switzerland so there is no doubt he will be fast in Michigan. Go guys and Hopp Suisse”.
