Tatsuki riding for Sic58 becomes the first rider to win from pole at Jerez since Sic58 himself. Like Matt Bird said, who writes the scripts for that team.

The TV coverage showing MM walking away after the qualifying sessions with one fat arm and one thin arm was a hint.

Here's a better look, pinched from SKY TV Spain by someone more clever than me.

On the MotoGp site they showed MM doing lots of push ups and his arm looked ok no bruises, so piloting a GP bike in the heat exposed a weakness i guess.

Up there with one of the strangest MotoGP races I have ever seen. So many mechanicals and DNFs, must have been torture out there.

Good to see Jorge Quatararo in full demolition mode. That was dominant as fuck.
Until Maverick can learn to adapt on the fly to different track conditions he's going to have these up and down races. Tis a shame as he's one of the best, just maybe not a full alien.

So many good results ruined by DNFs, fair few will be sitting wondering what if, that's racing!

That was a play on names I think, as the commentators remarked how Fabio reminded them of Jorge.

This man got the reference

Looking at the consistency he did his laptimes and the brutal metronomic way, its impossible not to think of his Jorgeness, the king of fucking off at the front.
If a Yamaha can run its lines, look out.

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.

Only watched it last night after avoiding media.

Bit surprised. Thought the 'Surgeons ' would have just replaced the broken part with a new one from the spares department.

I don't know if anyone has linked these up before but even though the vids are from last year it's the first time I'd seen them. Simon Crafar Tech Talks.
