Repsol Honda Team rider Toni Bou will not participate in the competition FIM X-Trial of Nations scheduled for Nice, France, after being injured while training yesterday, according to a statement released by his team.

Bou reportedly fell during a practice session and suffered an injury to his right shoulder. After passing through the Creu Blanca Clinic in Barcelona to make a RNM and be visited by a specialist, he was diagnosed with a partial tear of the subscapularis tendon of the right shoulder.

In light of the diagnosis, Bou and the Montesa Honda Team managers have decided, as a precaution against further injury, that he will not participate in the race of the FIM X-Trial of Nations to be held in Nice tomorrow. Instead, Bou will undergo treatment for the shoulder injury, and he is expected to be fit enough for the start of the treatment that allows him to be, with the maximum guarantees, at the start of the FIM Trial World Championship (outdoor) to be held on 9 and 10 April in Olvan / Cal Rosal, Barcelona, Spain.
