Injury update: Tondel out for the season


The rollercoaster nature of motocross is evident again as Cornelius Tondel, fresh off some great times racing in America and showing his speed Stateside, has been left with a broken ankle following a crash at his MXGP return in Loket.

Tondel said: “Out for the rest of the 2025 season💔 Yesterday I had a successful surgery on my ankle by Doctor Peersman in Antwerp. I can’t thank this whole hospital enough for the good care I received. Now my recovery period started and I will be out for a couple months. Obviously not the news I wanted to share but unfortunately it’s the reality. I’m lucky to have a team that supported me this year through thick and thin and gave me tons of opportunities I could only dream of. Thank you @jwr_honda I will put my full focus on my Recovery to be back on the bike fast enough to get ready for the 2026 season.”
