Hey guys, how long. But such a shitty start to the season is hard to put into words. A huge disappointment. Honestly, it wasn't a serious crash, but I had the misfortune to break my C5 vertebra. Bad luck landing headfirst into a stump and rock right next to the runway. What should it be safe? – Amaury Pierron
Our sport is growing it seems. More money (I don't know for whom), more TV, more racing and faster tracks.
But no more security. Nor is a doctor who works for the organization, which means that no one is able to forbid a biker from racing. Because pain won't stop a biker. Nothing will stop a biker except a doctor. – Amaury Pierron

I was lucky that my unstable fracture held up to qualify, and that I didn't feel able to race on Sunday. So we went to the hospital for more information and found this broken vertebra which was quite a shock.
The crash was my fault, but could it have been avoided with a clean zone B perhaps? We'll never know… Anyway the result is what it is, and I'm demotivated to the max in not racing and defending my title. I am so sorry to everyone involved in my dream hunt. I promise you that I will be back on the bike as soon as possible. It's just another cloud in my life, but it will pass and I'll be back – Amaury Pierron
Thanks so much to the people around me, Gaet, Thibz, my family, but Suze, @commencal_mucoff to my friends and everyone for messages ❤️ See you soon – Amaury Pierron
