Living the dream in Scotland
Right third time lucky!
Michael Scott did a great article in MCN this week about riders coming back too quick, saying how great Assen was for Jorge, but how badly it could have gone wrong.
It was written at the start of the week, before any of the events of the weekend unfolded
It reminded me of an article by Scott in Bike magazine back 93/94 where he talked of the whispers in the paddock of Rainey damaging a vertebrae in the weeks prior to his career ending crash at Misano. Possibly in a practice crash at Donny (Can Arrab or anyone else knowledgeable confirm this? Actually I'll stick to Arrab) and that Wayne came back too quick and finished his career in (from a rider's point of view) in the worst possible way.
To ensure this post gets posted I will say Casey rode like a girl an that Dorna made sure eveyone got pish tyres in 07 and 2011 because they wanted a special needs kid to get recognised as they dont do a paraGP.
I had to slag up that wee Maori .... Spencer or my post would not have appeared

Very true - he crashed on Saturday at Donington and we heard on the circuit commentary that he had damaged vertebrae when he rode on Sunday (I was there for both days). It sticks in my mind as I remember discussing it as a possible reason with the other half after the fateful day at Misano 93.
Whilst looking for anything to confirm this, as peeps here like to ask for links, I found this gem on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiiLwEBIUHM&feature=fvwp&NR=1 Probably loads more out there which will keep me busy until the race tomorrow as MotoGP stuff only goes back so far!!

If that ....... ..... doesnt race tomorrow, he will never win a championship. Even if he only can pull off a 6-7 th the next couple of weeks, it will be the difference between being a champion or bridesmaid. If at all possible, he needs to race, just to prove to himself that he has what it takes. If he sits out tomorrow, he will never recover mentally.

just doing some quick maths, if pedro rides and manages a top 10 finish, and our podium consists of rossi, marquez and crutchlow, which i think is highly likely and in that order, the championship will be up for grabs between all 5 of the top guys! rossi and crutchlow will be a tiny bit further back, but given any .... can happen, all of these blokes should be thinking very seriously about the wc

Bradders still has issues with his finger injury and Hiro Aoyama has had a chunk of his finger amputated and two finger reconstructions. A lot of riders ride hurt.

How many times have you crashed? How cool was your head and what did YOU do to avoid 'panic mode'. It must be good to have such a clear head in such a situation, especially when travelling so fast and when the off takes place in a fraction of a second. You are one tough hombre.
In my experience, crashing happens so fast you barely get the 'Oh ....!' out of the way. Sometimes, if you managed to get a lot of air, you can think 'it's gonna hurt!', but usually you are too busy worrying about the guys behind you running you over.
Edit: forgot to add - what a pile of ..... you wrote.

From the doc. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"The problem he has now will be the same for Laguna Seca. The risk for displacement is the same if he falls tomorrow or if he falls in Laguna Seca. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;The collarbone could become displaced but in three weeks it will be fully healed.”
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;So, if he feels ok, it doesn't seem to matter whether he races here or not, breakage-wise. I suspect the tought little ...... will drag the leathers on, if only to match Jorge's effort last week. He can't afford to drop any points to Marquez and it is the chance to make a break (sic) on Lorenzo.
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;He would be mad to miss it.

I was thinking this same thing today. This blows the WC wide open. We've already had 4 race winners this season and it could be 5 by this time tomorrow. This has been a very interesting year and it could continue to be so.

Yes and Marquez broke his finger and a toe the other weekend too and so on and so forth. I know a lot of riders ride injured, what I meant was, people shouldn't assume this is a perfect opportunity for Cal, he's injured too so if he doesn't get a great result that is probably why.
In fact I think this race it's easier to list those who aren't riding injured isn't it?
