Won't play directly for me but you can find and a whole lot more on YouTube . Hes not a polished presenter, but I don't care.
Cheers for that.

Stupid DORNA. Changed the link now, yeah they are great vids. He may not be the smoothest presenter but I like the genuine enthusiasm and knowledge he brings.

Well, I would have to have both. No sense turning up to a trackday at Manfield without a spare, eh?

[F5 Dave]

If Yamaha did that how many spare engines would you get?

[steveyb]

I got it. LOL

In my non-medical but scientific opinion (and from having two plates in situ on ulna and radius), he aggravated the injury while riding the bike too soon post injury.
Plates like that are not strong, they are there to provide stabilisation of the fracture once reduced and correctly in place.
They are not there to provide the strength of the bone itself.
I would be not at all surprised if he bent the plate slightly.
That bone is going to be weak as hell for a very long time, years in fact.
That fracture will take a very long time to heal correctly and if the plate is removed (which in his occupation would be a prudent move, perhaps in the off-season), the screw holes will leave the bone strength compromised.
That's a lot of screws.
The plate and screws will always irritate the nerves and soft tissues if left in place.
The issue then becomes that removal is invasive and risky. But leaving it in place is also risky considering the opportunity for further injury in the future.

Fuck I'm good at this shit!

In the interests of his long term health and the safety of everyone around him, that should really be the end of his season.
Give another rider the opportunity for the rest of the season.
Come back strong and healthy next year, if the bone heals that is. It is possible that it will not heal well, especially now that screws have been in and out and in again, the union was disrupted which will have stressed the screw holes and done who knows what real damage, the break was a full dislocation, not just an in-place fracture, etc etc.
Oh well. Lots of milk and cheese and ultra-sound.

Yes. He gave it a brave shot and has compromised his health already. I trust Dr Mir had a serious chat with the lad.

Not bad!

Agree, if he fucks it anymore its game over. Give it some time Marc ze Doctors can only do so much

It might explain the massive bruising around the bicep we saw on the Sat.

Lets see if Stefan Bradl can keep the Honda upright for a whole race

Yep, dead right.
I reckon the fracture separated completely due to a lateral load.
Not much fun, probably hurt like the blazes too.

Yeah, I didn't mean for them to give Stefan the ride, but good luck to him.
But to be fair, no one else is really available except the HRC contracted WSBK riders.
Bautista anyone?

In case you are wondering where everybody is between races, it seems Andorra is popular. Simon Crafar lives there as do several riders. Marquez copped some flak when he bought a house there, the folks at home thought he was dodging tax.

What follows is the text of a tweet from Yamaha mechanic Alex Briggs.

Went to dinner the other night in a Japanese restaurant I had seen while walking around town in Andorra.Turns out its part owned by @AleixEspargaro

We went again tonight. Great feed! Thumbs up called Ginza41
Saw all the @suzukimotogp engineers there also

I don't get why put him on the bike.
Why not let Carl or his team mate.
Just waste .not going learn anything.

That's all been discussed in previous seasons. Riders are contracted to their teams, their sponsors. Who pay a lot of money to see Cal or whoever wearing their logos and riding bikes with their logos.
