After going second and third in race one, Honda HRC duo Tim Gajser and Ruben Fernandez were primed and ready to fight for the podium spots at the MXGP of Switzerland, however in an unfortunate string of events, both riders’ hopes were dashed, and the pair leave the Frauenfeld circuit extremely dejected with what happened.
Tim Gajser had a huge crash in moto two in Switzerland thanks to hitting a pile of soil needlessly on the side of the track spitting the Slovenian down the track hard with Gajser holding his shoulder after initially trying to get back on his bike.
Tim Gajser posted – A tough day in the office 😡 Today did not go to plan. Early in moto two a small mistake became a disaster after catching a mound of dirt close to the edge of the track!
I am very frustrated with how it turned out, and can not help but feel it could have been avoided. After initially being treated trackside, I was forced to wait 30 minutes with unknown injuries and in a lot of pain! After finally making it to the medical centre, x-rays were clear but my shoulder was dislocated the whole time.
I hope this incident is the last of its kind, as our sport is dangerous enough without additional hazards so close to the track.
Time to head home for more checks, and to start the recovery ahead of the remainder of the season. Thank you to all my team and fans for all the support and messages
