Townley out!

[Danger]

July 13, 2006


Confirmed: Townley Out

DC just called Ben Townley down in Florida to see if the report he saw on Mototalk was true and that Ben had a broken collarbone. Turns out the report was only half right--Ben separated his shoulder! The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider, who was out for nine months before finishing third in the second moto at Red Bud, is now looking at approximately six more weeks on the sidelines. The 2004 MX2 World MX Champion says he will probably head home to New Zealand to heal up, meaning that his outdoor season might be over.

Man that sucks, I was really keen to see how he went over there, always next year I suppose.

[James Deuce]

Poor bugger. Commiserations to Mr Townley.

[Motu]

AAAH! Well he's not going to get his dream of thrashing Carmicheal,this is RC's last year.Townley shot himself in the foot with both barrels.

[Skunk]

Shit. Bad luck Ben.

[Sparky Bills]

Poor Guy!
Wish him all the best.

When Ben and Coppins went to the US at the same time they both got injured. Must be bad karma for Kiwis over there because Ben has just had no luck there this year and I reckon should've stayed in Europe to see if he could beat Everts.
