Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP’s Maxime Renaux will sit out the next two rounds of the FIM Motocross World Championship following his heavy fall at the Swiss Grand Prix on Monday, April 21st.

Despite the earlier positive news that Renaux sustained no fractures in the incident, further assessment has determined that the Frenchman will require more recovery time to properly heal from an acute contusion to his gluteal region and left hip joint.

Renaux, who is currently fifth in the MXGP World Championship Standings, has been advised to miss the Portuguese and Spanish rounds of MXGP to ensure complete recovery before returning to action.

An update on his potential return to racing will be shared on Yamaha-Racing.com when available. Yamaha image and story
