Courtney Duncan will race again in Switzerland, and returns to Europe this weekfrom an extended recovery in her native New Zealand after a May crash in Germany sent the FIM Women's Motocross World Championship red plate leader out of competition with injuries to her wrist and ankle.

Duncan went in for surgery back homeand sat out for theWMX rounds in France and Lombardia. Despite three moto victories in her first four WMX starts,she readily admits that the 2016 points race is now beyond her grasp.
