This also feeds into Ducati. With both HRC guys out and Lorenzo having his issues, they should be able to pull in even more points. Lorenzo always comes back strong and healthy riders on Hondas are a nightmare.

I would guess someone like Pedrosa wouldn't have bounced as well even when he was young.

Pedrosa always has been injury prone. That isn't his fault, it's just his luck, and/or the way his body works. He's a tough dude though, and has ridden many times with injuries.

Yeah, he's willing, but his body lets him down.

Didn't Bayliss (?) ride WSBK with "finger controls" part of one season?

He really only needs the clutch at the race start.

Yeah, not likely that a Spanish rider would miss a race at Jerez.   Which brings up a question I've always had,  anybody know what type of pain medication that these top performing athletes use on game day? I recall an older NFL documentary where they went from treating injuries with injections, to preemptively getting the injections and starting the game knowing that they were invincible; and no, it wasn't cocaine...

Mine was a joke, about the clutch, but it seems I missed a point.
Reading an interview to Dovi, he is saying that the little finger is very important at holding the bike while at (around) maximum lean position, and he thinks this will affect MM.
But I think he is right. When leaning on the opposite side of the broken hand, such hand (and in particular the furthest fingers - like the little and ring ones) is subject to some load.
Never thought about that.

Ya, I don't know. It'd surely be an issue for me, but for a top level rider like the GP guys? Hell, Bayliss had the end of his pinkie cut off so he could continue racing instead of letting it heal which would have made him miss several races that season.  bow down We'll see how it affects him either way.
