It was on offroadchampions.com Aubert and Planet are injured. And there are 3 WEC rounds after the ISDE, so teams with French riders, like CH Racing want them to concentrate on WEC. Injury in Finland could derail a World Championship. France decided it was too costly, to just send a "B" Team for little results.
Thanks, truth is that's probably good for our team. Most likely barring any issues the Fins will kill it, maybe we can P2 this thing! (still have Spain and Italians and others to deal with)
I hope Aubert recovers fully....he is freaking amazing.....have not seen such talent since Stephen Peterhansel!
