Who was it that chopped the end of their finger off some years ago, and still raced? Similar thing I guess, hard bastard.

It's time...
Troy Bayliss. Actually, I think he had the whole finger removed, having scraped a fairly large fraction off on the tarmac.Originally Posted by Drew
Probably a few other bike racers have done something like this over the years. Stupid buggers.
Geriatric hoon
Lorenzo lost the last joint of a finger last year or the year before at Phillip Island. The mechanics were searching the gravel trap but spectators told them they thought a seagull had scored a meal.

His finger was still on after the crash, just not in a very good condition. The mechanics were looking for something else I think.
Also, Jorge didn't ride that race and handed Stoner the championship.

Yeah, we were standing there at the fence watchin the whole thing. Turned out a marshall " pocketed" one of Horrhays gloves, and that was what they were looking for. (it had bits of finga in it that they wanted for possibly sewing back on, but turned out that it was too squished to use anyway)

Fully qualified Sifter.
Mick Doohan/Barry Sheen/Kenny Roberts get my vote. But yeah...Bayliss was/is a tough cunt. They all are really...

Oh fuck yeah, Doohan gotta be toughest!
Enjoys doing what he does
Didn't Àlex Crivillé grind part of his hand down at Assen a few years back? That would have smarted a bit and he was soon back in the saddle.
Doing some fencing last weekend turned my pinkies into a bloody mess (soft cock hands) making it painful/uncomfortable to do the simplist tasks, would have hated to ride my race bike like it.

I missed KB so much, NOT !! Just got back last night, the thought was for a possible 1,2 for Yamaha but the 2/3 corner ruined that. Rossi hates the new Qual rules apparently and although 7th, was possible finish 2nd (like my accent ?)
Horhay was inch perfect huh ?
Another perfect Holiday, pit pass , the works, magic.

If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

Back so soon? I would’ve thought you might backpack your way over to Catalunya — just down the road really and a leisurely 2 weeks to get there... Oh no, wait, that’s my lil’ fantasy jaunt.

Lol, used to do it that way when they were a week apart but it's too long away from home so the wife says? Just 8/9 days at a time now. Good GP at Montmello, easier and cheaper to get to as well.Back so soon?

Fair enough. You could always take your wife along next time under the pretext of a romantic Mediterranean getaway...

Naa pussies the lot of them. Mal Maninga played the better part of a State of Origin match with a broken arm.

You only need one arm to mince around carrying a rugby ball.
