Broken Collarbone for Haarup

Haarup suffers devastating hit.

A lot happened at the opening round of the Dutch Masters but, lost in all of that, was the fact that Mikkel Haarup picked up an injury. The promising Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider sustained a broken collarbone in the second moto.

Made quite a crash on Sunday which ended up in a broken collarbone,” Haarup wrote on his social media account. “Don’t know when I’ll be ready again but it won’t be long. See you soon! Thanks to everybody for sticking behind me and thanks for all the kind messages!” Although it was not confirmed in the statement, it is extremely likely that he will skip the opening round of the EMX250 series in Spain next weekend. The official word on that is expected in the coming days.

Mikkel Haarup won more motos than anyone else in the EMX125 series last year and has already shown some potential aboard the FC 250. Haarup finished eighth in the first moto on Sunday, for instance, and ran near the front at the Hawkstone International and opening round of the Internazionali D’Italia.

The MX2 class is full of young and motivated riders and Lucas and Sacha Coenen will join them for Lierop. These talented twins regularly impressed in the MX2 World Championship last year and Lucas won his first Grand Prix in Indonesia at the age of sixteen.

A fifth place was his share in the final standings and he certainly wants to improve on that this year. Sacha also regularly showed that he has the speed to compete at the front. Highlights were his second place in the qualifying heat in Finland and top five finishes in the Czech Republic and Sweden.

In the deep sand of Lierop, the Coenen brothers will compete against riders like Kay de Wolf, Cas Valk, Hakon Osterhagen, Max Werner, Scott Smulders, Bradley Mesters, Hakon Fredriksen, Oriol Oliver and others.

Also in the 500 class we get fireworks with the participation of Jeffrey Herlings, Jago Geerts, Pauls Jonass, Calvin Vlaanderen, Brent van Doninck and others.

The weather forecast looks good, so the Dutch MX Season Opener in Lierop has all the ingredients to see a great day of racing.
