Jake Nicholls’ bad luck continued this weekend with a crash at the LaCapelle International, which has left the British rider with yet another injury to overcome. Jake was competing in his last race before shipping out to Qatar for round one of the 2015 MXGP Championship when he ejected from a jump and landed on his right arm.
