Renaux injured despite going pole!

Maxime Renaux will not take to the start gate today in Italy despite beating his teammate for pole position in a rollercoaster first practice session of the season.

The unfortunate Frenchman was making his much anticipated Kemea Factory Yamaha MX2 debut but dislocated his shoulder (according to Motoverte) at the end of the session and will now head back to get further evaluation in a big blow for the young talent. But at least he has time to recover with no GP until May!
