Lorenzo just broke his collar bone at Assen... Pedrosa is bound to be secretly happy!

Looked nasty enough, see it on youtube but it's just been removed due to copyright issue

 

[Curtiz]

Awk that's not good

Just saw it on BBC Sport, showed you the reply. Didn't half look nasty!

 

[svensktoppen]

Ouch Bad news for him for sure! That said, they can be back pretty quick with a broken collar bone.

Blows the championship wide open though.

**Spoiler in case you haven't seen the race yet**

Watched Assen on the red button earlier. Was so excited when I seen Rossi pass Marquez and then Pedrosa without too much hassle and see him back on form Unfortunate though that Cal got passed to. Didn't think Lorenzo would be able to race this weekend after the accident but was over the moon to see him on the starting grid and he even passed Cal at the beginning, can't complain with 5th

Was a great race yesterday at Assen, great to see VR at the front come the chequered flag. I'm by no means a Lorenzo fan but huge respect for finishing 5th.

Wouldn't mind going to see BSB at Assen, looks like a great circuit.

 

[svensktoppen]

That was a pretty good race

Awesome by Cal, and Rossi to

As for Lorenzo, I broke my own collar bone six weeks ago, and it is still pretty sore. Only back on the bike last week ffs. And he races pretty much the day after the crash, lol!

Lorenzo fell again at germany and is out , bent the plate
holding his c,bone together . .back into surgery on sat .
hopefully he,l be fit to race next w.end . If Pedrosa doesnt
win this years title he should just give up Moto GP imo . .

 

[mike150]

OOOOOHHHHHH.................that's a long way down!

He tore open his leathers inside his left arm in that crash.

 

[svensktoppen]

Ouch

Not nice, hate to see that happen to anyone...

It hurts just looking at the picture...

 

[DEEJAY.B]

Wot is going on at this track ?
First . .ALL the Ducati,s crashed heavily , then Lorenzo ,
then Cal went down heavy and fast . .now Pedrosa
highsided this morn ? He,s currently on way to hospital
and not expected to take part in Quali .

Craziness.

This championship seems to be a war of attrition!

Last man standing.

Odds for Marquez and Rossi are bound to be slashed now.

 

[DEEJAY.B]

Pedrosa not in this morn,s warm up , passed fit but
complaining of dizziness . Iannone dislocated his shoulder
and is out of race . . Cal, hands and arm are a mess after
sliding down track and gravel backwards which went into
his gloves and wore patches of skin away ,very painful ..
Cal on pole tho , but i,d say race between Rossi and Marquez .

 

[gcon45]

Cal on pole tho , but i,d say race between Rossi and Marquez .

Marquez is on pole!

 

[DEEJAY.B]

Good result for the championship , all closed up nicely again !

 

[Curtiz]

With Pedrosa and Lorenzo out, I had a feeling Marquez would walk it today with Rossi in chase. Didn't expect to see Cal doing so well after his big off, I'm sure he was in pain come near the end of the race. Didn't find it particularly exciting race today

 

[svensktoppen]

Not a bad race. I thought Rossi would be doing better too, but great riding from Cal. Marquez win was kind of expected I guess, still very exciting rider to watch.

I just love the slow motion shots in the corners, unbelievable how much they slide about

Thought the same myself.

I see that the BBC is saying that Hayden is leaving Ducati at the end of the season.

^ Prob bout time ..

 

[DC.]

Heard wind of Crutchlow going to Ducati. would like to see him on Rossi's bike, would do bit better than what VR is doing at the minute.

Stoner must have wished he stayed one more year.

 

[Hel]

Would love to have seen stoner and marc have a good ding dong. Hope to christ that cal stays away from the duke

 

[svensktoppen]

Cal was up for the Duke this year too. Better pay apparently, but honestly, nobody is doing well on them... Stoner is the only who could ever ride them...

 

[DEEJAY.B]

The Aprillia CRT is nearly as good as the Duc and will def be a better
bike next year when the gap closes even more with the new regs ..
