Entries are updated. Gajser is on it, so we'll see if he actually lines up.

Gajser out for 3 a 4 months!

Translation

A serious blow for Gajser: not only the end of the season and the end of the fight for the championship, he is also threatened with...

 

Slovenia's best motocross rider Tim Gajser is facing an early end to this year's competitive season after suffering a new shoulder injury. Gajser dislocated his shoulder again in Wednesday's training session and is now considering surgery or a few weeks of rest. "This season may already be over for him," Gajser's fitness coach Boštjan Renko said in an interview with Šport TV.

 

Tim Gajser (Honda), who was the clear leader in the MXGP World Championship, dislocated his shoulder in the second race of the Swiss Grand Prix two weeks ago. After a week of rehabilitation, his recovery seemed to be going well. However, the shoulder problems recurred when he got back behind the wheel of the bike.  "When Tim tried to get on the bike on Wednesday, the shoulder dislocated again after a few laps. He had to have another MRI and we are back to square one," revealed fitness coach Boštjan Renko.

His team will make a decision on the next steps next week. " I don't have exact information yet. Tim is visiting specialists, including abroad. For now, there are two options: either surgery or a few weeks of rest to heal the injury. If he goes for surgery, he will be able to continue his career in the coming years without any problems. However, if he does not decide to have surgery, his shoulder dislocations may recur. When Tim decides, he will tell you. But I can say that this season may already be over for him," said Renko.

In the event of surgery, Gajser will face three to four months of rehabilitation. If he does not decide to have surgery, he will also face several weeks of rest, explained the fitness trainer. The four-time MXGP world champion has not yet decided on his next steps. However, the fight for the championship title is probably lost for the 28-year-old from Makol, which was confirmed by fitness trainer Renko in an interview with Šport TV.

Gajser won three of the first five races of the season, and was worse than third in only one of the 15 races.

The Slovenian motocross rider missed the Portuguese Grand Prix due to shoulder problems. The absence of his rival was taken advantage of by Frenchman Romain Febvre, who took second place and took over the lead in the Motocross World Championship.

That sucks, Tim was in such good shape.

That's a bummer for Tim, he is an easy guy to pull for.  

Just hoping for a dry race this weekend, that track in Lugo is awesome!

Sad for Tim if true. It looked like he would run away with the title with ease. Out of 18 races he finished only twice out of the top three: a fifth in the first race at Sardinia and his DNF in Switzerland.

What a huge letdown if Febvre doesn't get it done now. Sure, Coenen might have an raw speed advantage but Febvre should be able to beat him on consistency.

Imo its a bit early for that. One moto dnf for Febvre and it's basically all tied up.

I think we're in for a dogfight between Febvre and Coenen in the weeks to come. Febvre has the experience, he's seen and done it all before, and Coenen is the young gun, going on the momentum he has now and the hunger to prove his criticasters wrong.

If they are both up front at the start, they will simply finish first and second at this point. They're way better as the rest at the moment. So I see no one who can "take away" points if one wins and the other finishes third or fourth. Renaux and Herlings should be able to do that on a regular basis, but both are not 100% (yet). I guess Herlings will be close to his old self come Latvia, on a sandy track. Guys like Fernández, Coldenhoff, Jonass and Vlaanderen can do that when they're having a good day, but not for a whole season long.

They both have made mistakes in the past GP's (Coenen racing with injury in Argentina and being impatient in Cózar, Febvre in Switzerland), but in Portugal they were impeccable in very demanding conditions. Both being so strong now, it seems like one has to wait on a mistake from the other to gain some big points.

If he gets it, and, I Do hope so ( nothing against Lucas Coenen - it's been fantastic to see a resurgence of the Belgians in MX ) , it will be a decade between MXGP Titles for him - 2015 to 2025. 

Such a bummer for Tiga, this shoulder injury.

 He is such an underrated ( by idiots) World Champion. He won the 2015 MX2 title, to straight away get the 450s in 2016. Injury has cost him now, at least 3 extra titles, I think. But, that's how it goes. Though, last year, it was a foot peg / foot peg mount that did him in.

Tim Gajser is the best MXGP competitor we had since Antonio Cairoli, I think no one can argue against that. Herlings might have been a faster pilot, but Tim's consistency+technique+speed made him the most successful racer over the last 10 years.

Am I the only one not buying into the Coenen championship hype at the moment? He's been 'fast, but crashy' for the last few years which is why he didnt win an MX2 title.

He hasn't been that inconsistent though compared to his competition if you ignore Gajser.
First round he left 29 points down on Febvre but he was basically riding with two half broken hands. If you ignore that round he's like 15 points down. Despite a DNF in Sardinia.

Fair. He really just has to go against Febvre because no one else left is championship-caliber except Herlings, who missed multiple rounds. I'm just still in "wait and see" mode, definitely not sold on this quite yet even with the odds stacked in his favor.

Just wondering. If Herlings gets on a roll and wins a bunch of races, how close would he get to the top 3 of championship standings this year?

I just can’t see it myself, the results are coming but very slowly.

Coenen will be dangerous for Febvre. Very dangerous.

That's a big if. That would almost mean he has to start winning right now, and start to dominate within 2-3 GP's. I can see him win in Latvia (maybe), Lommel and Arnhem, and battle for podiums in the other rounds, but I think Spain, France and Germany will come too soon.

Herlings could be the executioner in the title fight, although I'm not sure he's very keen to "help" Coenen or KTM by letting him pass when the opportunity comes, as it seems he's leaving the team anyway. And not on the best terms.

The last 2 GP's, Romain scored a total of 95 points, while Lucas scored 111. Lucas reduced the gap from 59 to 43 points, 16 points difference. At this rate, if he continue to win and Romain is consistent like he was the last 2 GP's, it will take 6 rounds for Lucas to close the gap. That's only IF they both stay off the ground.
