Nicolas Vennekens of VNT KTM Racing sustained a foot injury during the final round of the Dutch Masters of Motocross in Markelo. After securing a strong seventh place in the first moto, Vennekens crashed while riding in tenth position during the second moto.
He immediately felt pain in his foot and was forced to withdraw from the race. A hospital examination later revealed that a piece of bone in his foot had broken off and that there is a tear in the ligament behind his big toe.
Due to this injury, Vennekens will not participate in the ninth round of the MX2 World Championship this coming weekend in Ernée, France. Whether he will be able to compete the following week in Germany will be assessed next week.
