Broken collarbone prevents start of season

Gusti Wildhaber hits a tree during a training crash and breaks his collarbone. As a result, the Swiss enduro specialist is out of action for some time. Wildhaber will probably have to miss the first race of the Enduro World Series.

With the focus on the top 10 in the Enduro World Series, Gusti Wildhaber comes out of the winter in impressive form. During technical training in preparation for the World Series race in Chile, disaster struck. During an acceleration, the chain on Wildhaber's bike snapped, which caused him to fall forward and crash diagonally into a tree. Suspecting a broken collarbone, the Walenstadter has an X-ray. However, Wildhaber does not accept the finding that it is not broken.

In fact, the collarbone was not broken, but severely torn. So severely that it broke through when drying off after the shower. Wildhaber will undergo surgery on Thursday, March 20 and will then not be allowed to hold the handlebars for around five weeks. The enduro specialist will therefore be out of the race in Chile on April 19 and 20. If his rehabilitation goes well, Wildhaber will be back at the start at the second stop of the Enduro World Series in Scotland.www.cube.eu/pilots/cube-action-team/team/gusti
