Hhe end of the tunnel is not yet in sight for Max Nagl. The German Red Bull-KTM rider will miss at least the start of the World Championship season. Nagl has already undergone two operations for his back injury and will have to undergo a third operation. KTM and Nagl are hoping for a comeback in early June with the French GP. There will be no replacement for Nagl, but the excellent performances of Kevin Strijbos will help to keep the orange flag flying high alongside world champion Antonio Cairoli.
