Norway have been forced into making a rider change to their MXoN squad as Hakon Fredriksen has been ruled out due to health issues.
With Hakon Osterhagen also out injured, it means that Sander Agard-Michelsen who is having a strong season racing in Norway and the Netherlands gets the chance of representing his country.
The following update was posted on social media:
“Bad luck strikes again for Team Norway. Hakon Fredriksen is out of the MXoN due to illness.
The good News is that Sander Agard-Michelsen is willing to step up and fill in at Matterly Basin in the MX2 class. Sander is enjoying one of his best seasons so far, double Norwegian champion and leading ONK in the Netherlands.
We hope and pray that he still can whip it on a four-stroke”.Â
Team Norway riders are now as follows:
MXGP: Kevin Horgmo
Open: Cornelius Tøndel
MX2:Â Sander Agard-Michelsen
