I have broken a few ribs myself and I can assure you it ain't only hard to get out of bed with a broken rib, it's hard to even lie down because of the pain. The first days it is usually recommended to sleep while sitting with a pillow behind your back...and this guy rode a MotoGP race
I know basically all riders have proven this kind of toughness at least once in their career, but as I like I said have an unfortunate familiarity with the broken rib pain - this caught my attention a wee bit more
