Sadly the news isn’t good for Matti Lehikoinen (MS-Intense/Red Bull) who we reported during our Fort William coverage had crashed in training on the bridge in the wooded sction of the course where he tore open his leg above the left kneecap.
Preliminary examinations have been non-conclusive about his inability to lift his leg properly, but the doctors have immediately ruled out next week’s World Championships, and feel a recovery of 2 to 6 weeks is in the works. Scans will be done shortly to get some images of inside the knee area to see what the tendons are doing, and we’ll all know more then.
