Rick Elzinga injured!

It has been a tough season for poor Rick Elzinga.

The Dutch flyer has shown some blazing speed on his Yamaha in the EMX125 class, but two broken wrists early in the season wrecked his title hopes and Elzinga has now revealed he has just broken his seventh vertabrae putting him out for the rest of the season, after a crash last Thursday.

It’s a tough pill to swallow for the talented kid, but hopefully Elzinga will take his time recovering and be able to come out and show his talent again in 2019.
