Injury update: Bad news for David Herbreteau!
Young MX2 French talent, David Herbreteau crashed during the timed practice session at the MXGP of France which ruled him out of the main races. Unfortunately, Herbreteau dislocated his shoulder and that’s the third time he’s had the same injury.
The French rider has decided it’s best to go for surgery in order to come back stronger in 2019 but it means he will miss the rest of the season which is a real shame.
Herbreteau had been a bit up and down during the season but put in a good ride during the second moto in Matterley Basin to come home in fifteenth which he’d have hoped would have kick started his season.
The VHR KTM team are now left without an MX2 World Championship rider as Alexis Verhaeghe is also currently injured.
