Red Bull KTM factory rider, Jeffrey Herlings has given an update on his collarbone injury and while it is impossible to know when he gets back into action, he is at least giving us his opinion on the current situation.

The five time World champion knows all about injuries, surgery and natural healing and hopefully we see him back for at least his home GP in Arnhem in over six weeks time. A comebacking Herlings is often as much fun as a superfit Herlings, with him often surprising us with his amazing strenght.

Fortunately, he should be good for China and Australia, as the fans there deserve to see this man at least once in their lives. MXlarge will be at both these GPs and ready to give you the coverage you deserve.

Jeffrey Herlings: What’s up everyone. I got so many messages of what is happening and about my collarbone. Did I get surgery, didn’t I get surgery, was it bad, when are you back on the bike, how many races are you going to miss? So, obviously last Monday I tipped over in a turn, fell on my elbow and broke my collarbone. It’s a very nice break so I didn’t need surgery, so I haven’t had surgery so far. Obviously, you know when you don’t put a plate in, it’s normally going to take a bit longer but man, I just hate surgery, so I didn’t want to take one and the goal is to be back on the bike somewhere between four and six weeks. It could be a little quicker, could be a little longer, I don’t know. A lot depends on mother nature so let’s go day by day and week by week. Right now, we are just focused on the healing process, and I hope to see all you guys back at the races as soon as possible.
