Rockstar
Energy Suzuki World MX1's Clement Desalle will take part in the Grand
Prix of Sweden this weekend, round eight of 15 in the FIM Motocross
World Championship, despite suffering a dislocated right shoulder last
Sunday at Tongeren in the fourth round of the Belgian Championship.
The
current MX1 series leader has caused minor damage to the joint that was
briefly put out of place; similar to the ailment suffered at
Valkenswaard last year (and from which he was able to win the Grand Prix
of Portugal two weeks later).
Although the Belgian will not
know the extent of his possibilities as far as the race is concerned at
Uddevalla in six days he feels strong and confident to make the trip to
northern Europe.
"Of course this is bad luck but a part of the
sport we must accept," commented Team Principal Sylvain Geboers. "We
won't know what Clement will be able to achieve this weekend but the
fact that he feels he can try is a good sign. It is not in his character
to give up easily, as we saw last year, and for sure he won't let any
chance of this title go without a fight."
