I've seen nothing that suggests he was injured, but to not race from June to October indicate that he had some kind of problem. Especially as teams usually struggle to fill their rosters towards the end of the season. He did well at the Japan Cup, was 6th I think, so he must've been training hard for a month beforehand at least.

Let's hope he gets more opportunities next year.
