Most have us have moaned about badly timed rides etc but spare a thought for the jocks

I posted this video the other day but it`s worth taing a look at this again,you Carstens is lucky he came out of this reasonably ok..



Recently we have had the broken bones of Delpech,Marcus and Neethling

Surgery for Shea and a host of others

Our Friend Chippy was recently off work for nearly 3 months with a bad back,worked his socks off to get back starved himself over christmas etc etc to only feel the back injury again after just 20 rides

Just looking through bud boys race record and noticed Kelvin Jupp has not ridden for over a year.

Done a bit digging and found out he busted a heel dismounting
