Geerts on his injuries on MXGP debut

After being taken exiting turn one in his MXGP debut, Jago Geerts then crashed again after hitting a kicker off a jump ending his MXGP debut race before it really began suffering a broken collarbone and dislocated elbow.

The luckless Geerts stated:

What a start of my MXGP career.đŸ˜„

Yesterday I was transferred from the track to the Dr Oscar Arraiz hospital in Villa La Angostura.

My left elbow was dislocated and a doctor put it back into the right place. A scan showed a fracture of my elbow and my collarbone.

My surgeon in Belgium will decide whether surgery will be necessary. Now I have a plaster to support my elbow.

Tomorrow, Monday March 11 I will fly back to Belgium to consult my surgeon.🙏
