Serious back injury for Yentel Martens
Yentel Martens (Rockstar Energy Racing Husqvarna) had a serious crash yesterday during training in Lommel. 'Y-Mart' suffered a fracture in T6 and T7 of his vertebrae. Fortunately, there is also positive news: his breathing is gradually returning and he still has feeling everywhere.
After the crash, Martens was taken to the Maria Hospital in Overpelt. His team announced this morning that surgery is not necessary. Due to this injury, Yentel will unfortunately be out of contention for the Keiheuvel tomorrow where he was on the podium last year. The MXMag editorial team wishes the Lommel beach racing specialist a speedy recovery.
