Today the news has spread that British rider Jake Nicholls is likely to miss the first two rounds of the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship due to further issues with his leg.
Jake suffered a bone infection that his surgeon said could have potentially resulted in amputation with the result that he will sit out the first two rounds and could miss more.
This is a big blow for Buildbase Honda team as well as they don’t have an MX1 rider in place for the start of the year– it remains to be seen if they will draft in a replacement rider
