Emphatic 1-2 again at Indonesian MXGP as Cairoli undergoes surgery

Press release available only in original language. 

The new Grand Prix circuit at Palembang was tight, jumpy and relentless for what was the first of two back-to-back rounds of MXGP in #Indonesia. Temperatures were high and brief showers kept the terrain rough in places. The venue was the scene of another fantastic 1-2 in the overall results by #jorgeprado (who also extended his lead in the championship) and rookie Tom Vialle.

Red Bull KTM were missing their MXGP representatives – Jeffrey Herlings and Tony Cairoli – for the second meeting in a row. Herlings is recovering quickly from a broken lower right leg while Cairoli unexpectedly underwent a corrective operation in Belgium on Saturday. 

The Italian decided on further scans after the swelling had subsided on his right shoulder. He had initially hoped to continue #racing in 2019 but damage to the Subscapularis and Supraspinatus muscles meant he was advised to have surgery right away. The procedure was performed by Tom Claes (son of renowned surgeon Toon) and the former nine-times world champion is expected to leave hospital today (Sunday) to begin a recovery period that can take between three-four months.
