Blake Young crashed heavily at the Barber test, but he continued to ride. It turns out he broke his L1 vertabrae and he will be out for at least one month.

It's not so unusual for a rider to take a violent tumble and be so distracted by

wrist pain, collar bone etc and not even notice broken vertabrae - except as

a "sore back"



When I high-sided at Loudon and broke by hip - I broke 3 vertabrae and didn't

find out till 6 months later when I was having an X Ray for something else altogether.
