Team HRC’s Mitch Evans has been ruled out of the British MXGP round as he undergoes another surgery on his left wrist.
Recovery from the injury he sustained at the 2020 MXGP of Spain hasn’t gone as planned and the Australian rider had hoped to be racing at the opening round of the 2021 FIM World Motocross Champion in Russia, but complications have meant his return to action had to be delayed.
Now the decision has been made to have another surgery back in Australia to completely fix the problem.
“It was a really difficult decision to have to do this surgery, knowing that I’d be missing more racing but I knew that my wrist wasn’t 100 per cent and I wouldn’t be able to compete at the level I wanted until I got it fixed,” said Evans.
“Now I’m back in Australia getting ready for the surgery and I’ll stay here until I’m ready to return to action, which hopefully won’t be too long. A big thank you to the team for their support and congrats to Tim on an excellent ride in Russia, I can’t wait to be on the gate alongside you.
“Also, thanks to my fans for their support during this tough period, it feels good that so many people believe in me and I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the races so I can repay everyone’s faith.’
