St-Romuald, QC (5/10/2007) - This past weekend Canadian Richard Pelchat was injured while practicing. Fortunately, there is no broken bone and no serious injury. The impact hurt the inside of Richard’s abdomen and a bit of blood was found around the intestine area. He had to stay at the Hospital for two days. Always a fighter, Richard was quick to ask about racing this upcoming weekend. The doctor’s answer was clear “Out of question…very dangerous”.

He will have to miss the upcoming WPSA (round 2) and the 12 Hours endurance race of La Tuque (May 20th).

Richard comments about the crash “It was a small jump and a weird crash. The ATV hit me back pretty hard”…

“I hit my head but got no concussion, I’m glad I was wearing a Bell Helmets”

It is the first time in his racing career that Richard has to miss important races. “It is never good to get injured, but I plan on making the best of this situation and comeback strong”.

For the 12 hours endurance race of La Tuque, Richard plan on finding a good replacement rider and have the team compete in the event. “It is a team race and anything can happen”.
