MX GP in Valkenswaard (NETHERLANDS): DESALLE injured, HAPPY ENDING FOR FROSSARD

Last week-end, the city of Valkenswaard hosted the third MX GP of this 2010 season. The least that we can say is that the results were very different for our Lazer riders this week-end.

In the MX1 category, it was a tough week-end for Clément Desalle who saw his Grand Prix end in the first moto with a dislocated right shoulder caused by a crash. We are now waiting the results of the X-rays to know when our Lazer rider will be fit to ride again. In any case, we know that Clément is a very strong and brave rider and we wish him a very quick recovery and we look forward to seeing him again on the top of the podiums. We stand by his side and we are sure that he will be soon back on track.

In the MX2 category, Steven Frossard had a good week-end, as he finished third of the overall Grand Prix, his first podium ever on a sandy track! Our MX2 Lazer rider holds now the 4th position in the overall MX2 Championship.

He said at the end of the race:  “I did not achieve good results on sand tracks last year but I have flown several times between Marseilles and the Netherlands this winter to practice under the watchful eye of ex-GP rider Kees van der Ven and the team’s technical advisor Harry Nolte. Last week we trained at a track which is similar to Valkenswaard. I was able to finish 4^th and 3^rd in the two motos today. It’s the first time in my career that I have got in the podium at a sandy track and that confirms that the training we did during the winter is bringing its rewards. I really like the track at Águeda in Portugal where the next GP will take place and I am confident I can go for the win there to reduce the gap to the current points leaders.”
