Update time.. apologies for putting this out so late but here's where I'm at.. I have 2 bruised lungs, all of my ribs fractured, 4 broken vertabrae, a broken neck in 2 places, broken septum, collarbone, multiple other back fractures, fortunately no paralysis which was a big bonus....
That sounds pretty bad, must have been a horrible crash.....I think he could be out for the season, but really just want to see him recovered.
Consider that it's taken Hutchy nearly a year to recover from his tt crash and that was one leg.
Mcpint is still recovering from his nw200 crash, again affecting one leg.
The injury's Shakey listed are in some of the most complex bits of the skeleton meaning the spine and neck.
Let alone the other fractures or soft tissue damage.
Lets hope that any news coming from him is positive.

Agreed, but dont forget both Hutchy and McPint had to regrow a good few inches bone and allow it to fuse, so much more time consuming.Consider that it's taken Hutchy nearly a year to recover from his tt crash and that was one leg.

Shakeys bone just need to repair breaks rather than bridge a gap.

He's had a fantastic career in MotoGP and UK racing and has survived a major accident intact, your luck only goes so far.
I know how difficult it is to call it a day even at the level I raced at but there is life afterwards.
Time for him to pack it in IMO, you only need to look at what happened to some of the riders who said they couldn't stop.

The only person that can make the decision to retire is the man himself, and Im not sure he will tbh....
He isnt a crasher by nature, but for sure, this kind of bang must make you think, and also add pressure from the family....
Lets just wish him a speedy recovery and see waht happens, these guys arent "normal" by any measurement.

Today's been a difficult day, family and finds turned up and I just couldn't stay awake, I've had zero energy all day, it's been a tough one, on a far more positive note I managed to have a shave/trim so I no longer feel I look like a tramp and I have the iPad and a Turkish delight bar prepped ready and good to go for the super sport and WSB race 2 in a bit!!!!!
t those are bad injuries! Amazed he didn't end up as a vegetable in a wheel chair, what with spinal damage & a broken neck.Guintoli says he isn't prepared to push that final 1% on the bsb circuits, only a few meet standards that dorna would accept for Moto gp. I guess he means the tilka type tracks where you can slide and tumble forever as long as a (your?) bike doesn't hit you, the safe fencing is miles away.

The bikes have probably outgrown some of the BSB tracks.Although it has definitely improved the spectacle, the technological dumbing down of BSB has made it more dangerous in my opinion.
Agree on bikes getting too quick for some tracks. They’ binned off Mallory and Mondello Park a few years ago.
Cadwell is close to being too narrow for modern bikes, Oulton doesn’t have a lot of fun off in some places, Snetterton infield puts you very close to other parts of the track with zero run off.
Only Donington and Silverstone are super safe altbough donny has the odd let where fencing is quite close too.
I wish they’d run at Anglesey it’s an awesome track.
Reality is that if you’re running in a domestic series you have to ride the tracks that are there and some of them will be less than optimal

Look how slow these bikes are....Cadwell is close to being too narrow for modern bikes, Oulton doesn’t have a lot of fun off in some places, Snetterton infield puts you very close to other parts of the track with zero run off.

Lol binning off Mallory, Croft and Mondello was nothing to do with speed or danger.
Who owns the series? Palmer, who runs BSB events at more rounds on his tracks than anywhere else?
If you are talking about safety, Cadwell is the least safe of all of them yet we still run there eh.
There are more Irish riders in the series than ever yet we don't go to Mondell, coz its a bit bumpy, give over.
Croft is the only track in the North East yet we go to sodding Assen
And Mallory is perfectly safe yet we go to the dump that is Silverstone down the road.
It's all about money, oh and just you wait til you see what they have done to your viewing at Brands GP circuit lol!
