Since his crash during the French Elite in Romagné, Valentin suffered from his right shoulder but all exams were not revealing any serious damage and Valentin tried hard to keep fighting for the top world championships spots, he even got a podium moto result at the last GP in Bulgaria 2 weeks ago but always with complaining from dolors on his shoulder.
New additionnals exams revealed some damages and Valentin will not race for several weeks because he will need surgery but he stay very motivated to come back asap before the end of the MX2 GP championship and make a good Supercross season and defend his European title.
The team decided to offer a new team mate to Dylan Ferrandis and we will replace Valentin immediatly from this week-end at Portugal GP by the young rider named Jason Clermont who is currently 2nd in the french elite 450 series.
It will be a real chance for Jason to show his potential worldwide and proof that he can be a good GP rider and secure a GP ride for the future.
He already rode few GP’s in 2009 when he was only 16th years old and he was too young at this time, hope that his second chance in the GP circuit will be the good one for him.
Jason was European 85cc champion in 2007 and won 125cc European Championship in Teutchenthal 2010.
Thank you for your support and keep you updated begin next week after Portugal GP.
