2010: Philippaerts out for the Motocross of Nations

-


David Philippaerts of Yamaha Monster Energy Motocross Team was unable to race for the incoming 64th Motocross of Nations that will be held at the Thunder Valley, Lakewood, Colorado on September 26. This is due to an injury experienced by the racer. He is currently suffering from a second-degree strain of the media lateral ligament in his right knee.

Philippaerts accidentally twisted his right knee after showing off a raging speed during the 2nd Moto race. He wasn't able to complete the race therefore confirming his third position in the FIM MX1-GP World Championship on the factory YZ450FM and went immediately back to his home in Milan for a medical check-up. According to a medical report, the injury will not require any form of operations. However, adequate rest for a period of twenty days is needed before the 2008 world champion is able to begin his light cycling routines. 

On the other hand, luck comes to Gautier Paulin as Team Yamaha chooses him to represent France in the MX1 category with a YZ450FM. "While I am sorry for Christophe this is an exciting news for me and I am proud to represent France as part of a strong team. There is not much time to prepare but we are working hard now to get ready on the bike and be as fast as possible for Thunder Valley”, Paulin uttered.

The 20-year-old racer Gautier Paulin is completely prepared to enter the race for the third time this year after a successful second half of the 2010 MX2-GP campaign with victory for the YZ250FM in Holland and four podium results from the final five rounds.

While for Philippaerts being unable to battle, he delivered these lines: "This is the last thing I wanted to happen because the news at Fermo that we could go and race for our country was fantastic for us and all the fans. I'm lucky that the injury is not a third-degree tear because that would mean surgery. However I cannot ride nor do anything for nearly three weeks now; if the ligament has any more stress then it might go completely and that would put me out for quite a while. I want to thank all the people that supported me at the weekend and through the season and I am sorry I cannot do the Nations for them, the team and all our sponsors. I really hope that Italy can do well."


The 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations begin to build an exciting momentum as several countries had already selected their superb racers that will battle for the event. Set for Thunder Valley in Colorado on September 25th and 26th many are expecting this event to once again add up to the never-ending history of the MON.
