MXGP legend Arnaud Tonus has announced his retirement from professional racing this morning, after struggling with racing due to injury.

The previous MXGP moto winner and Swiss Resident, has struggled the past couple of seasons due to injury just as he seemed to gain traction throughout his career. Retiring now seemed the right option for him as he took to his social media below to explain the decision.

“Time for me to move away and begin a new chapter, I donā€™t really have the words, when you have been in the motocross world since 4 years old itā€™s pretty much all you know.” Said Tonus.
