Doctors’ initial prediction was that rehabilitation would last eight to ten weeks. In August, three stages of the world championship are planned in Ķegums, which will follow Jonas.

In the first stage of the season in the UK, Jonas experienced several failures on the track and won the 18th place, but in the second race in the Netherlands he was prevented from competing for a podium by a few more falls, resulting in the 12th position.
