Lorenzo injured in Shanghai

[feejer222]

Yup...alllllll of it 125's 250's and the big boys.....all the WSBK practice and superpole as well. Most of it live too. Yawn. :yahoo:

Bite me. If you spent a little more time posting actual FJR content you'd have less time to watch GP racing LIVE.

:lol:

GRRRRR CRUNCH! :yahoo:

7am here just watching MGP Qualifying [SIZE=36pt]LIVE[/SIZE] :yahoo: Lorenzo looks sore, hobbling on both feet. Chipped bone in one ankle and strained ligaments in the other. Out today though and has done a race distance this morning.

Stoner leading the way at the moment with Rossi close behind. Pedrossa also threatens........oops just gone pole.....Rossi takes it back straight away.

90% chance of rain for the race.

UPDATE Lorenzo has a chipped bone in one ankle and cracked bones in both feet as well as torn ligaments in his ankle. You wouldn't know it to watch him on track.

Stoner having some fun backing it in and airborn.

I finally got 'round to watching Jorge's crash on YouTube...and guess what I see???

Christ!!! I didn't think he would ever come down. But he did. OUCH!!!

Haven't seen a high side like that since the 500cc two stroke days.

 

[Colonel Panic]

I looked at the vid several times but don't really understand how he lost the rear wheel. Is it because he snapped it over too fast? Or was he on the brake?
I'd like to under this.

One thing I do understand is I never want to high side! To much vertical propelant involved there. :blink:

Got on the gas too hard with a cold tire. Rear end comes out, gets sideways, tire regain traction, and LAUNCH!!!!

Used to happen quite a bit with the 500cc two strokes and their vicious power delivery.

He's well enough to finish 4th in Qualifying practice but had to be helped on/off bike. Now that's determination. Three of top four qualifiers are on Yamaha's.

Update on his condition - worse than originally diagnosed

 

[rainbowrider]

AMAZING!!!!! It's amazing that the human body can suffer that kind of punishment and then get up and do it so more. The physical condition of the rider along with his protective gear are a lot of it......but still. And he's still running second in the world. Geez!!
