Jamie McCanney: "My bike got cross-rutted on the face of a sandy jump and I crashed. My boot got hooked on the foot peg and twisted my leg quite badly.
Immediately I knew it wasn't right and when I got it checked out at the hospital doctors confirmed I'd damaged the ligaments on both sides of my right foot. To say I'm gutted is an understatement.I was looking forward to the GP of Greece.
"My previously broken wrist is healed up and my fitness is great now. My goal was to build on my podium result in Portugal and finally show what I could do when fit and healthy. Luck's just not on my side at the moment but I'll do my best to be ready for the GP of Finland in June.”
Injury woes continue in the Bel-Ray Husqvarna Factory Racing camp with McCanney's teammate Joakim Ljunggren also ruled out of Greece due to a knee injury from the GP of Catalunya.
Sustaining Meniscus and Cartilage damage, Joakim headed home to Sweden following the GP of Portugal for a specialist consultation where an MRI scan confirmed the damage.
