It's all about who you know

Dunno if this is technically for the racing forum but pretty much the only one I frequent at!

Last year I had a thread where I was applying to the medical unit of the MotoGP for my 3 month elective - my application was well received but they were unable to give an answer due to it being to early (serve me right for trying to be organised!)

Anyway medicine is all about who you know, given that no one I know is medical, I don't really have contacts, in fact Pete has more than I do!

We were being lectured on sports medicine by Dr Pearson (a sports physician) and he gave out his email should anyone need to contact him
I asked if he knew anyone in sports medicine to do with motorcycle racing and he gave me a contact in Australia!

So for part of my elective I am going to be working with these guys

Well done you!

And if any of them smelly racers try and get you to examine their "sore balls"...tell 'em to sod off.

Yes Rach brilliant, so do you head to Oz pronto?

Funny to see Suzuki plastered over the Commodores, reminds me when some Holdens were Suzukis e.g. the original little Cruze.
