We’d like to wish Meuwissen all the best for his future.
Raf Meuwissen confirmed the news via the following social media post:
The season has ended for me a couple of weeks ago but I finally found the motivation to post it.
As most of you know, I had an crash a couple of weeks ago that ended my season, they took out my appendix and my kidney. The recovery is going well and I’m making good steps but I can’t lie it has been tough, it’s still a very long way. The doctors told me it will take over a year, but I’m blessed I will be back 100% healthy at one point. This all has opened my eyes and after fighting for my life and losing some organs, I had to make a very difficult decision to step away from profesional racing… I have worked very hard for my dreams day in and day out, overcame a lot of injury’s but I realized my health comes first no matter what.
Motocross will always have a special place in my heart and I’m 99.9% sure I will be back riding dirt bikes but it will be to enjoy and have fun, just how i started it 13 years ago.
Thank You AMX Racing for all the hard work and support I received this season, I really enjoyed it and i’m thankful for the opportunity. Also all of my sponsors, who supported me through the ups and the downs.
Jeremy Ramakers thanks for all the endless hours of work, help and trust. And my Parents who gave me everything i needed so i could chase my dreams for the last 13 years of my life.
For now, i really don’t know how my future will look like, I trust the man above and will have faith in the future .
