Another set back for BT

Haven't seen anything in print but Radio Sport are reporting that Ben Townley has injured himself by hitting the bars with his stomach and perforating his bowel. He will now miss the 3 rounds of the World GP and is expected to be off the bike for 4-6 weeks before he begins preparation for his AMA return.

Does not sound great, interesting the team manager reckoned BT felt he had got his speed back, if that's the case could make for a very interesting outdoors.

You reckon, I reckon no luck would be blowing his shoulder apart again. I'm actually impressed he has not got injured before now, got to be helluva hard being off the bike for so long trying to get back to top race pace.

Any ideas how long it'll be before he's back on the bike Scott ?.
