Romain Febvre’s much-anticipated return to racing has been delayed as the leg he broke at the Paris Supercross is still not healed.

“I tried to ride last week but it wasn’t possible, so had a checkup this week with the surgeon and actually the bone from the tibia is not healing everywhere!” said Febvre. “On one spot the space between the bone is apparently too much so I have to make another operation next week to clean and take some bones in my hip to put it there!So it means my bike will have to wait again few months to be out!

“Feel I didn’t have so much luck on that one, I feel so sorry for my team and sponsors as well! Thank you for the support of all my sponsors!”
