Good luck to him though!

You're beginning to scare me..
 
Has the cause of the crash been found? I heard that he possibly blacked out. If that was me I'd stop riding.

As I read, they didn’t know the reason, but blacking out was not it because he had some reactions like trying to get the bike right, lower one foot or so when he was already on his way out of track. Hope he keeps getting better and better!

Well baldy, actually that is pretty possible. If he undergoes intensive rehabilitation therapy,and if all factors points to positive outcomes, walking and speaking actually is possible in just two months. But of course, i don't know the whole situation so i could only play on "ifs"

I think the question was if he was going to <u>race</u> in two months, because that's what he hoped for in the interiew.
As for rehab, if I got it right it's more a physical thing. He need more surgery and as soon as that is done and they can allow movement he will talk as he must have done in the interview. There is no brain damage reported so it's not like he don't remember how to talk.

Sorry for not reading the article beforehand.

The walking/standing/putting weight on the injured leg is possible in two months. The talking part, with that damage, could take longer than that so I guess he'll have to resort to alternative ways. For the racing part, possible, but if I am his physiatrist, I wouldn't recommend it.
