Arnaud Tonus Out For First Rounds of 2018 MXGP Season

Wilvo #yamaha Official MXGP Team's #arnaudtonus will miss the start of the 2018 FIM MXGP World Championship due to a shoulder injury.

Tonus dislocated his left shoulder in a crash during the Timed Practice session at the Masters of #motocross International, which took place in LaCapelle-Marival, France on the weekend of February 18th. The twenty-six-year-old Swiss native received medical attention at the circuit before returning to Switzerland where a specialist at the Hirslanden Hospital in Geneva assessed his shoulder. Following expert medical advice of Dr. Gregory Cunningham, Tonus underwent surgery to re-construct the shoulder on Tuesday 20th February. 

Tonus will remain in Switzerland for the initial part of his rehabilitation where he has been advised to rest for the first few weeks before starting an intensive physiotherapy program, which will aim to have him back on the bike in the shortest mount of time possible. Tonus’ return to #racing is currently unknown. The main focus is for the Swiss talent to take his time and to make a full and strong recovery. 

Injury updates will be made when available on #yamaha Racing’s Social Media platforms, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
