Successful surgery for Paulin

Team HRC’s Gautier Paulin, the vice MXGP World Champion and winner of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations underwent knee surgery last week. The Flying Frenchman had his meniscus repaired and is said to be out for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks GP21 should be already good to get back on the bike and start training and testing for his 2016 FIM Motocross World Championship campaign.

A post recently came up on his facebook saying:

“Just a quick update from my side : last week I had a surgery on my knee - everything went well and i'm recovering pretty good. I crashed in the GP of Loket in a right corner. When I got up immediately felt that there was a problem. The force of the crash bruised the bone, meniscus and there was some cartilage damage. After meeting all my medical staff we decided to continue the championship because I could not aggravate the injury but enduring the pain would be my biggest enemy. The doctors said that I would not ride Lommel, the pain would stop me. It was the most difficult race of my career and I finished 2nd. I rode with this pain until the Nations. I decided that I would not give up until the end! I love riding Supercross and I was super excited about the idea of riding Monster Cup and Supercross of Paris/Lille but I will still be in Lille to meet you. I start rehabilitation and already can't wait to be back on my bike!”
