Nico Greutmann has announced that he will be sidelined for the time being due to a shoulder injury. The Swiss rider sustained the injury in a crash, dealing another major setback in what has already been a difficult season.

Greutmann has since undergone successful surgery and has spent the past two weeks recovering at the BUFF Medical Resort. His full focus is on getting back on the bike as soon as possible.

The Swiss rider hopes to make his return at the race in Drehna, although it remains uncertain whether he will be fit enough to compete. He is keeping his followers updated on his recovery through his social media channels.

“This isn’t the news I wanted to share today. On top of what has already been a difficult season, I was involved in a crash and injured my shoulder. I’ve since had surgery and have been recovering at the BUFF Medical Resort for the past two weeks. I’m doing everything I can to get back on the bike as soon as possible. I hope to be back on the gate in Drehna. I’ll keep you all updated.”
