I have met Simon several times around the world and in NZ (last time was at trackday in Taupo in April tis year) and he is seriously one of the nice guys in the racing world.
I hope this ends well.

You're 100% correct. Simon is a real GC...and I hope he's back to his normal self asap!
It's OK...I've got a spare!
Never met the guy but he was one of the most spectacular riders in SBK as I recall.
"Backing it into a corner" was a phrase made for him.

A real nice guy, and he was just awesome in '98. Apart from smoking Doohan at Donington he had a blinder at Phillip Island that year too.
Love this photo - the look on Doohan's face is greatTake that ya aussie wanker!

Get well soon. Hope the spinal injury is not too serious.

Heard him on the radio talking about the accident the other day, sounds like a real hard case. Apparently his first thought when he thought he was paralised was "I cant shag my gorgous wife again!" (his words). Sounded nasty but he is on the mend.
Wouldn't be racing if it wasn't for:MotoMart, Pirelli, EBC Brakes, Ripecoffee.co.nz, Slotmedia.co.nz, Totalbodyshop.co.nz and Wurth

That ride is well remembered in the motogp pits even today . Several of the long established mechanics have mentioned it.Originally Posted by That Guy

Yeah, all the best to Simon and family. Has anyone got an update on his injuries?
If we could be heroes, if just for one day.
