BT101 injury update

Bummer for Ben, I wonder if Pourcel will turn up at CLS now?

A good analogy.

Bugger, I was REALLY looking forward to seeing him ride at Loket

You heading for the Czech republic race huh, lucky .

BT's skills are amazing, there was a corner at Southwick he just monstered in a way no other rider did that day, I guess my gut says even riding like Chad he would be top 3 consistently, question is would he be prepared to lose a few races to stay in a series without risking serious injury, that I'm unsure of.

Yeah, but it's most unfortunate as I was REALLY looking forward to see BT ride against the Internationals.

But hey, I will get to see my first FIM event and the clicker is - Brno the following weekend. Woohoo.

It'll be awesome some time in the Czech republic, I'd definitely not argue with that.

The racing will be interesting all the same, to see Carolli & Roczen would be great.

Some great cliches in these pages. I could roll out a few too but it wouldn't achieve anything and would come across disrespectful when it isn't meant to be.

Good interview on Radiosport today with Ben. He's a smart guy, smart enough to realise when the head doesn't really want to be on the start line. In Belgium on his way home.

Ben will always have the speed, top athletes never loose the skills that set them above us wanna be's. In Bens case its his mental scars that need to heal and he thought they would fade once he started racing again in Europe. Unfortunately that was not the case. Having a family now probably puts a new perspective on things as well.

Be great to see Ben racing here in NZ again soon. He will clean up I'm sure, even with his doubts. But it will take a lot to get back to where he was four or more years ago and I wish him all the best with his struggle. And I don't think fate or luck will have anything to do with it, it will show true character to get to the top from here, it will take more than speed, he already has that.

Always a BT fan.
