After his heavy start straight crash at the Grand Prix of Sweden last Sunday, Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MXGP’s Clement Desalle is still unsure if he will be able to compete at Hyvinkää for the Finnish round this weekend.

The winner of four MXGP events this season has been slowly recovering from hard impacts to his torso this week and is still suffering a lot of pain in his back.

Medical checks revealed no serious damage to any internal organs, but hits to the muscle groups and also his skin have meant a stiff and uncomfortable convalescence so far.

“I had such a crazy impact in the crash and I have been hurting since,” Desalle said. “For this weekend I just don’t know at the moment.”

This weekend will mark round 13 of 17 in the 2014 FIM Motocross World Championship.
