MXGPプレシーズンレースでガイザー負傷

開幕を2週間後に控えた世界選手権モトクロスのMXGPクラスに参戦するTeam HRCのエース、T.ガイザーが、前哨戦として知られるイタリア・マントバでのレースで負傷。チームからガイザーの状況に関する一報が届いた。

リリースは以下の通り(Official HP)

Team HRC’s Tim Gajser was injured today following a crash during the MX1 race of the ‘Internazionali d’Italia’ final round in Mantova.

After a first assessment of his condition locally, the 21-year-old Slovenian rider was transported to the nearby Carlo Poma hospital to perform a series of evaluations and scans, which gave a clearer picture of his condition. Gajser was conscious, he interacted with the medical staff and showed full body movement; results from MRI scans to head and cervical spine were clear.

Gajser is currently undergoing a surgical operation to repair  two fractures in his jaw bone.

More updates will follow through Team HRC and Honda’s official channels as soon as more information becomes available.

ガイザーのみが残留し、新たに2名のライダーが加入する形でチーム体制を刷新したTeam HRCだが、チャンピオン返り咲きを狙っていたガイザーの開幕戦出場は厳しい状況。AMA SX アーリントンで負傷したK.ロクスンに続き残念な知らせとなった。
