Cairoli Out for Season

7/7/2019 6:54am Edited Date/Time 7/10/2019 1:07am
Red Bull KTM Factory rider Antonio Cairoli has decided on further scans after the swelling had subsided on his right shoulder that his season is over.

He had initially hoped to continue racing in 2019 but damage to the Subscapularis and Supraspinatus muscles meant he was advised to have surgery right away. The procedure was performed by Tom Claes (son of renowned surgeon Toon) and the former nine-times world champion is expected to leave hospital today (Sunday) to begin a recovery period that can take between three-four months.

Tony Cairoli: “It is sad to finish the championship this way and it hasn’t happened too many times in my career. When I tried to ride last week I knew I had some problems but I wanted to stay positive about the recovery. I had more scans in Belgium and the injury was much worse that we thought so they told me to have surgery right away and it was the best solution to get healthy again in the fastest way. Thanks to the team and to the fans for the support. I hope to visit a few races before the end of the season and will now concentrate on getting better.”

What this means is Tim Gajser now has a 161 points lead over Jeremy Seewer and with seven GPs to go has a three GP advantage over the Yamaha rider.

That sucks. Was really hoping to see him get number 10. Although that was really not gonna happen anyway at this point.

I was really hoping Top Cat could make it 10
Get well soon TC
On a lighter note , does this mean Tim Gasjer can wrap it early enough to do some AMA rounds?

Deathcross strikes again, oh wait. Huge bummer for the sport, series and AC. Not out of the question for Tim to wrap a title up 4 races early. Every elite guy has had issues this year expect for Tim.

Gosh, it reminds me a bit the year when RV came and Febvre won the championship.

All the big names got hurt at some point, and this year we lost:
Herlings, AC, Desalle, and Febvre

This was the top 5 on paper at the beginning of the season, all title contenders.

And nothing to reduce Gajser's title, which he still has to wrap up, he is hauling exactly like Febvre when he won the championship, nobody knows if any of the 4 riders i mentioned would have won the title for sure.

WADA should examine TG243 and find out if he isn't made out of rubber.

He could wrap it up at Lommel and race Unadilla in the off weekend before Imola.
It's probably not gonna happen but...

Man watching the race today and I’ve never noticed the amount of riders in each class! There are only 18-20 in each class is it always like that or is it due to the location??? Seeing the gates here in the states and how many riders there are even in the lcq shows how tough/expensive it must be for a privateer rider in the GPs to even get to the races.

Pretty sure Youthstream make it virtually impossible to privateer the GP's. I think you have to commit financially as a team much like MotoGP or F1....

As much as i hate these rounds in Indonesia and China, there are 100% logical reasons for what we saw this weekend.

The injury list right now is brutal. It would've looked way better even if 50% of the injured riders would have been on the gate. The days of 20-25 rider gates in GPs are in most cases gone. And the trips to these places are crazy expensive, if many of the regular guys are hurt this is the result in these rounds.

But at least the next Indonesian race will be on a proper track that actually is worth being on the GP schedule.

I don't believe it. Gajser did his homework during winter and ate metric tone of gummy bears so he is basically 80% jelly & 20% fullgas.

There is no force on this planet that could stop him this year.

Why do you have to make a point of making it clear?

Bench racing time.

Lets say Gajser crashes out with like 8 motos left (200 points on the table), with a 175 point lead over the Yamaha boys, who are within 10 points of one another at the time.

What happens at Yamaha? Do they pick a rider and tell the other 2 they have to finish behind, or do they just let it play out?

Well Seewer is Yamaha Factory and Paulin and Tonus are 'private' Wilvo Yamaha team. If this would happen I guess Yamaha tells Wilvo to let Seewer win.

There is absolutely no way that Paulin would agree to that.

Paulin transforms to ”MXON-Paulin” and wins the title somehow

So you are suggesting that 51 weekends in a year there is MXOFF-Paulin?
