Official Monster Energy Kawsaky Racing Team rider Clement Desalle suffered a broken arm while chasing Shaun Simpson in the last race of Valence international and will probably miss a big part of the 2016 MXGP season.

Also, Desalle's teammate, Jordi Tixier recently had a surgery to his wrist and will miss the first 2 rounds of MXGP.

That means there will be no Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team in Qatar and Thailand.

Well crap. Those gp guys shouldn't ride those warm up races (sarcasm). Heal up buddy.

Supercross is too dangerous, it's taking all the good guys out before the season even begins. Get rid of the 450s.

They could always put a drag race type wheelie bar on a bike, and see if RV would fill in.

Weird. Like a Villopoto loop-out dealio again, but over a jump.

He didn't just jump front wheel high. He was going miles past the landing.

Desalle looked very impressive and really comfortable on the Kawi prior his crash. He had the others covered easily. Poor guy can't catch a break...

Those people in the crowd were damn lucky. That bike could have bounced right into them.

Does anyone remember the remote controlled toy dirt bike that you could press a button and it would do a backflip? Maybe Kawasaki is secretly working on programming that into their new KXF's ECU to dominate in the future Super Freestyle Cross series?

Desalle has broken his cubit and will be out for 4 to 5 weeks. He will definitely miss at least the first two rounds of the championship.
