Stauffer back again
“This is the biggest victory of my career”
Unbelievable, but true. In November, motocross rider Marcel Stauffer broke two vertebrae in his neck and one in his chest. After 178 days, however, the man from Nussdorf was back on his bike - right at the scene of the accident.
The countless hours of rehabilitation, the pain, the tears and the sweat paid off. Motocross rider Marcel Stauffer got back on his bike 178 days after his serious training accident in Italy, where he broke two vertebrae in his neck and one in his chest. The 23-year-old celebrated his comeback on Sunday at the exact site of the accident. "It was really emotional. I've been working towards this for so long," says the 2023 national champion proudly, describing his return as the "biggest victory in my career".
The comeback deliberately took place at the scene of the accident in Italy in order to put the past behind him. "It was a strange feeling during the first few laps - a beautiful and sad moment at the same time. But as soon as I got going, it went well and my head was clear!" For the time being, training is only possible sporadically; the Nußdorfer wants to take things slowly. "The movement was good and it went surprisingly well. Now I'm looking to get back step by step." He has his contract with the Czech Osicka MX Team as third rider anyway. It is still unclear when he will make his debut for the racing team.
