GAJSER NO-GO FOR MONSTER ENERGY CUP
M
XGP World Champion Tim Gajser was hoping
to compete in the October 15 Monster Ener-
gy Cup at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, but
he'll have to wait another year.
Gajser will sit the race out to allow his shoulder
to heal—the shoulder he injured just prior to the
Motocross of Nations, which kept him out of that
race, as well. The Slovakian did, however, com-
pete in the October 8 SMX Riders' Cup in Ger-
many and helped his Honda team finish second
overall, although he aggravated the injury when
he fell while leading the second of three races.
Gajser said on Facebook, "Guys, sorry for that
news! But I think health is the most important,
so me and my dad decided to miss MEC. Good
news is that nothing is broken, just I feel sore
in my shoulder. I am really sad that I will not be
there, because racing at that event—that's my
dream. But that's sports, it can happen so quick.
I'll be back soon in Arnhem."
Gajser says that he'll be ready to go, however,
for the Arnhem Supercross in The Netherlands,
October 22.
