Thoughts go out to all the other injured riders too, plus John McBride, the TM who was injured in an off. The TMs have to deal with a lot through race week, especially big racing incidents, so hope he and all the others make a full and speedy recovery.

Lucky man.
Same here. He looks in surprisingly good shape considering the off.

Nasty one... Sounds like it could've been a hell of a lot worse though. Hope he makes a full recovery- not everyone with a busted hip rides as slow as me, it's just a coincidence.

All the best for Ollie's recovery - I have been watchin the coverage of the TT all week and I have been both excited and scared at what these riders can do on a bike, absolutely fascinating.

Road races like the TT are not for the feint hearted pitting yourself against the track and not your riding competitor as all too often you dont see you nearest rival all race.
