Back in the saddle - again
So, in August last year I high-sided whilst racing at Assen. I didn't come away from the bike as it somersaulted down the track. It left me with a split pelvis, shattered right femur, broken left knee, shattered left fib/tib and most of the bones in my left foot. Now......back on it, despite the left leg still being broken and having to be held together with a special carbon fibre orthotic. Here are some recent racing shots.
