Unfortunately, Tom Vialle is sitting out the MXGP of Latvia. The Frenchman tried his best in Germany to fight through the pain, but after missing those races, he has now taken the hard decision to miss Kegums as well. It had been an excellent start to the season for Vialle, so he definitely didn’t want to have to make this call, but his health is paramount and now the goal is to make sure he’s back and fully fit for Montevarchi on June 20-21.
«It is sad news to say that I won’t be lining up in Latvia this weekend. I was in too much pain in Germany to be able to race, and I don’t think things have got sufficiently better for me to be riding at Kegums. It is a big shame because I really feel like I had done well in the opening rounds of the season and had adapted well to the bike and to riding in the MXGP class. The plan now is to try and make sure I am as close to 100% for Montevarchi as possible, and challenge up front like I had at every GP previously.»
Beofre the setback suffered at this home GP in Lacapelle-Marival, Vialle finished on the podium in three ocassions. 3rd twice and his maiden MXGP victory at the MXGP of Switzerland.
