Hi Steemers,

The Brittish MX season is always kicked off with some mud slinging action at the legendary Hawkstone International and one rider in particular was looking on point. Shaun Simpson was looking super comfortable and fast on his new RFX KTM and was laying down some great laps. This positivity however turned bad as a crash in the second MX1 moto saw him DNF with a dislocated shoulder. Luckily though it seems the injury is not as bad as it sounds and Simpson has released an announcement about the day.

"The day didn't finish as planned but there were plenty of positive points: There was a real buzz about the team, I felt comfortable on the bike and my starts were on-point. It must have been 6-10 minutes before my shoulder clicked back in and I know it will be a bit tender tomorrow and the day after but it is something I'm used to dealing with and I fully expect to be racing next weekend at LaCapelle Marival."

This is great news as it means Simpson has set his sights on racing The LaCapelle Marival event which is run in France and is known to all riders as the final prep stage before round one of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship. Heal up and and i can't wait to see you tear it up at LaCapelle!
