MX2: De Jong gets injured in Valkenswaard.
The first Grand Prix of the season from Rene de Jong did not go well. The North Hollander had a hard fall in the qualifying match. In this crash, the KTM rider broke his 'talus neck', a bone in the ankle. The rider travels directly to the Academic Medical Center (AMC) where he will undergo surgery as soon as possible.
