Rockstar Energy Suzuki’s MX1 World Championship leader Clement Desalle has suffered a dislocated shoulder in the fourth round of the Belgian championship at Tongeren over the weekend.

Desalle collided with another rider over a jump and in the ensuing crash he briefly dislocated his right shoulder.

Desalle will go for a scan today, but is hopeful of a positive prognosis after the relatively short time the limb was displaced compared to a similar injury picked up on the same shoulder at Valkenswaard in Holland last year.

The Belgian was able to win the following race two weeks later in Portugal on that occasion.

The dislocation – and other small scrapes – occurred after the 23-year-old tangled with Jeremy Van Horebeek in the first moto.

Desalle’s teammate Steve Ramon won the Belgian round on Sunday.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MX1 will head to Sweden this week for the first of three grands prix in a row.
