tommy hill battling to save career....

[castrolcraig]

apparently the injuries from the testing crash are that bad its going to be at least 9 months before he is on a bike and may never regain 100% full fitness...

im gutted for the lad, bags of talent, down to earth and funny as ....

and then he goes out for the dreaded "1 more lap" and bins it at 130 breaking his arm, pelvis, leg in 3 places and more...

from myself anyway its a big get well soon tommy, and lets see you back on a bike smoking it like you do....

Sad and shocked to hear that...he's a great character with a fantastic style, get all fixed up soon mate...he's young enough to bounce back from this .

Read that it was really bad, but didn't realise it was that bad.

I read he suffered badly with infections after the surgery to sort out the injuries which had set him back a long way.

Such a shame, talented and given an opportunity at world level for a full season.

Get well soon Tommy . . . .

Barry Sheene also suffered many major setbacks but always came back fighting, so will this rider.

What makes it even worse is the bloody accident wasn't even his fault.
Apparently there was a problem with the quickshifter.
