The sciatic nerve damage stemming from his Foxhill crash flared up again, forcing him to withdraw and shift focus to recovery rather than the championship fight.

"Lucas Coenen ruled out of the MXGP of Flanders after free practice, the Belgian made the decision to sit out his home race and focus on recovery," read a statement from KTM.
