Bobby is back for home GP
By Team TMX on 7th Jun 17
Team HRC welcomes back Evgeny Bobryshev this weekend as he returns to action on his #777 CRF450RW at his home GP in Orlyonok, Russia.
Bobryshev was forced to sit out the French GP, after his crash in Germany resulted in a broken collarbone. After undergoing an operation to plate his collarbone, Bobryshev has been able to do light training exercises and physiotherapy.
This has allowed him to make a return to racing in front of his home crowd this weekend.
Although this is Bobryshev's home GP, the track itself is new to the calendar this year and hasn't been previously used in the MXGP series. The motocross circuit of "Orlyonok” is a track with a natural terrain. Its length is 1850 meters, its width at the narrowest part is 10 meters with elevation changes of 40 meters.
The surrounding area is unique, mountainous landscape. The mild climate of the region and ground coating of the track make it possible to use it all year round.
The MXGP qualifying race gets underway at 5pm on Saturday June 10.
