Haven't lost a bet with a fellow KB'er yet and hope not to this year either. Although betting Crutchlow won't get a podium this season is looking a bit shakey after Dovi's result. That's what I was referring to mate.

Apparently the lad has had surgery, this from today,
"Things are not easy sometimes! Trying my best to be ready for Argentina. Hand is very sore and difficult to move at the minute."

On a more cheerful note: BSB Round 1 Live, 23.30 Monday, SKY Sport 3.

H/L packages all over the where...

On Cruthclow's surgery.

It was reported that he had had surgery to correct compartment syndrome, he responded quickly to say that was incorrect. I then read an article on what actually did happen but can't find it now - so from memory.

Further checks revealed that the finger that had been dislocated at CoTA was also fractured so that was pinned. His arm had also been retaining fluid since his crash at Silverstone last year and basically just kept getting bigger, so that was operated on as well.

While the little finger doesn't do much when riding, apparently the whole hand is swollen and black.

It is still five days until practice in Argentina, and he is a hard bastard, but...
