Prumm's World 2008 MX champ thread

[denill]

Tough was to ride the round immediately after her injury, stupid is to keep riding.

It's her call. For me I say, I admire ya spirit girl"!

[arj127]

I cant beleive she can even ride with a torn ACL. That ligament gets replaced with a ligament from the back of the knee when reconstructed. I've done the fibular i think it is, outside knee ligaments in both my knees competing in mx, and they are self healing (takes a fair while though), and thats painfull enough. Hard to say what she should do, i reckon she should just have the reconstruction, but Katherine knows best. Good luck to her.

I'm really suprised that Nikki is not getting better results, she wasn't really that far behind Katherine in the nationals last year.

yeah, she's got it all ahead of her, no point in risking further damage so early.
it must be at the lower end of the scale for a torn acl to still be riding!
i mean walking!!!
shes tuff alright.

[Danger]

Katherine is going awesome considering her injury. Looks like Nicki is a bit out of her league tho at this point.

Nikki was dead last after the first lap, presume she must have done down at the start. Made up a lot of places.....

I must say I'm feeling a fair amount of Kiwi pride at our girls efforts...

Two points away from the lead, pretty good considering

[Danger]

She is right in the hunt if she can manage her injury for the season.

[denill]

From HH Media:

Katherinie Prumm was 2nd overall. Her right knee is causing her much discomfort and she will come home this week. Germans were eagerly awaiting the return of Red Bull KTM's Stephanie Laier (coached by Pit Beirer and Stefan Everts) and she did not disappoint with a strong 1-1. She was 22 seconds ahead of KP in Moto 1 and 17 seconds in Moto 2. Last week's winner Livia Lancelot went 7-3. Nikki Scott went 21-18. Overall on the day KP was 2nd Nikki 21st. KP now moves into 2nd overall only 2 points behind Livia Lancelot.

Yamaha RACE REPORT 18/05/2008

Prumm makes the podium in Italy

Double FIM Women's World Cup number one Katherine Prumm took her Van Beers Racing YZ250F to second position for her first podium result of the season at Mantova for the Italian Grand Prix and the second round of five in the first ever FIM Women's World Championship.

The 19 year old underwent a scan during the week that confirmed the ACL in her right knee has detached but made the decision to compete in Mantova regardless and aim for her first podium. After taking third position in a wet practice - indeed the whole weekend would be hit by rain, creating a rougher and slower sandy terrain - Prumm launched out of the gate inside the top four of both motos.

The first race saw her trailing winner Stephanie Laier for second place and she enjoyed a brief but entertaining tussle with series leader Livia Lancelot in the second moto until the French rider stalled her machine. Prumm, naturally, still lacks a little confidence and speed in the corners but took another runner-up position to Laier to strengthen her position in the standings.

The points table has narrowed and Prumm lies just two behind Lancelot. Prumm heads back to her home this week and will begin a programme of physical work to build-up the required muscles in her knee to help compensate for the missing ligament. She will not be in Europe again until mid-June to prepare for round three of the series which will take place at the Teutschenthal circuit for the Grand Prix of Germany.

Katherine Prumm, Yamaha Van Beers Racing, 2nd:
"It was good to make the podium this weekend but to be honest I am not so happy with my riding. My confidence had taken a hit in Bulgaria and while things were better this weekend I still did not find the speed I know I am capable of and that I do in practice. I fought with Livia and she did not have the best day so it is positive that I am back in the championship hunt. Despite the knee I want to be here fighting for the championship. I will work the muscles I need to and I hope I can build my confidence to get faster. It is good to see how the championship is progressing. I was surprised when I came over for the first GP and found a lot of the girls are now members of teams and it is great that the manufacturers are supporting us. It was a big change for me to switch to Yamaha but I love the engine of the YZ and every weekend I am learning something new about the bike with the different conditions that we find."

fecking brilliant - also good that she didn't hurt herself more.

[A&R]

GO! Katherine GO!
I'm amazed she can do that after such a bad crash.
She's is one tough lady.
Hope her training back here goes OK. Met her once with my daughter at Ardmore she was kind enough to offer her some training and advise. Pity we never took it up!!!!
