Grand Prix Kawasaki Racing’s Kevin Strijbos is almost certain to miss the next three rounds of the MX1 World Motocross Championship after undergoing minor surgery to repair an injured thumb.

It was in a free practice session at the Spanish GP in Bellpuig. Although in a lot of pain, Strijbos pushed on through the power-sapping slop on his factory KX450F-SR to an impressive sixth placed finish in Sunday’s one and only points paying moto.

Joaquim Rodrigues  rode hard at Valkenswaard, and he had the speed at Bellpuig, but a crash on the start of the first moto and he broke a rib. He will be out for around six weeks.

Guys, review your teams for Agueda before Friday!
