Whiner out for 3 races

I still havent gotten that far, perhaps the dates wont coincide with his WSBK duties. Bet swapping bikes will be hard to do...

The WSBK grid has a tough season itself:

Max Neukirchner is still in a back brache
Regis Laconi is out for good
Xaus broke his femur (he might be back the next race)
Haga is fallling apart (he needed this break)
Hopper is hobbling

who did I miss?

Roadracing was always a battle of attrition from the days of old. With todays medical advances they just get patched up quicker. Good thing is safety has improved so you have less death to deal with....Crashing hurts and sux but how else are you going to find the limits...

another place where bikes are a hell of a lot more exciting than cars. that X factor of a rider manning out the pain really adds to the excitement

True! when Haga won at Miller last year with 2 broken collar bones? epic!

Troy Bayliss and his amputated little finger still kicked ass and take names.

I don't like Stoner because he has the personality of a dead mackerel BUT I have a lot of respect for him. Obviously his wrist was screwed since last year's crash AND he was sick of whatever ailment. He was pale as fuck during all those after race interviews and looked like death warmed over, yet he still podium finished several races.

I agree with this...don't like him...do respect his ability though.
