The FIM Motocross World Championship of Latvia has claimed another victim it seems and this time it is Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP rider Romain Febvre.

The crash did look nasty, Arminas Jasikonis jumped cross rutted and got a bit off line in the air. When the Honda rider landed it was off line and he rode onto Febvre and took him down. I do not think there was any intent at all from Jasikonis other than trying to recover the bike and it looks just like an unfortunate racing incident.

Febvre went down hard though and landed on his right arm pretty badly, he was taken off the track by the medical team and looked to be in a considerable amount of pain.

He updated fans via social media but it seems details are being kept out of the public domain for now.

The Yamaha team have also released a very tight lipped statement, this usually is not a good sign but i hope i am wrong here.

"Febvre did not rejoin the race due to a suspected arm injury. An update on his condition will be posted when available."

Either way this is never a good thing to see a top title contender dropping out due to injury. I will update you guys as details become available.

Hi b0y2k, do you have Discord? I wanted to talk with you regarding your witness efforts and simply getting to know you since we are both witnesses.

My team and I are building a new Steem based platform at the moment for which I might need help from witnesses later.
