Jeffrey Herlings road to recovery

The last we saw of our two-time FIM MX2 World Champion, the extremely talented Jeffrey Herlings, he was racing with pure heart and determination at the final round of the 2014 FIM Motocross World Championship in Leon, Mexico, with a small fraction hope that despite his broken femur he would win his third consecutive FIM Motocross World Championship title. While the title was not to be, Jeffrey’s effort made him a winner in the eyes of many as we all could see the level of pain and discomfort he was in as he laid it all on the line.

Jeffrey broke his femur in late July while racing an 85cc bike for charity. Only eight weeks on, after having surgery to plate and rod the bone, Jeffrey was desperate to defend the MX2 title which, as the most dominant rider in the series, was likely to have been his.

It has now been around nine weeks since that fateful weekend in Mexico and a lot of us are wondering how Jeffrey is doing. Thanks to his good buddy, and MX2 wild card rider Lars Van Berkel, we have a video of Jeffrey on the road to recovery. Check out the video below.
