History might be repeating itself. In the past few hours, rumors have surfaced suggesting that Jeffrey Herlings may have suffered a collarbone fracture during a training session yesterday in Arnhem, the Netherlands — yes, the same place where he sustained a similar injury back in 2023.
At first glance, it could seem like just another addition to the long injury list of the Red Bull KTM rider. However, reports suggest surgery might be required, which complicates the situation. Herlings has already undergone operations on his collarbone in the past, so another procedure — possibly involving the replacement of an existing plate — could significantly extend his recovery time.
The timing couldn’t be worse: Herlings is currently in the final year of his contract with KTM. And while his recent performances have been strong, another injury might weigh on the team’s decision-making. Uncertainty creeps in just when it looked like the #84 was getting back into form.
So far, nothing has been confirmed, but a team statement is expected soon.
