Antonio Cairoli is concerned with an injured knee he picked up in the opening moto of todays GP in Switzerland. If the injury makes it impossible to race in the coming rounds, then there is a chance Herlings will be crowned world champion in the coming days. Depending on the outcome of a doctors appointment for the Italian. 

“There is something wrong with me knee,” Cairoli said. “It doesn’t feel good. I want to see how my knee reacts, first moto I finished but it was barely with one leg and I checked with my physician and I hope it’s isn’t the ligament, not broken, just stretched, and I will try and ride, and see what happens in the second race.”

 Herlings lead over third placed man Clement Desalle is close to 200 points with four rounds to go.
