Abrupt season end for Liam Everts, who sustains a shoulder blade fracture in a fall: “It’s a shame it had to end like this” | More Sports

A tough verdict for Liam Everts. A fracture in his shoulder blade puts an early end to his season. “We found out by chance”, says Everts, who still hoped to be able to drive again on Tuesday. “It’s a shame that it has to end like this, but it’s good that we’re already getting there. I still really wanted to drive, I do everything to be able to drive. But that makes no sense to me now. It is only the European Championship, to then drive with half an arm on Wednesday is pointless. It’s the last game, and then maybe get injured even further, I don’t think it’s worth it.”

So the end of the season for Everts, in a year where, with some windfall, there might be more to be had. “I had many good moments, such as in Oss. I think there were more of those moments this year, but always has something that shouldn’t be. That is yet to come.” Everts going soon

There are no images of his fall today. Last week, Everts also fell heavily to the ground. He rolled over, but the damage was limited. In the EMX250 standings Nicholas Lapucci was the leader with 395 points, Everts followed in fifth with 227 points.
