http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/moto ... 33476.htmlJohn McGuinness ruled out of Isle of Man TT with serious injuries after North West 200 crash.
“John has been diagnosed with a compound fracture to his right lower leg, while in theatre on Thursday night it was not possible to plate the leg as initially thought due to the extent of the injury, and tomorrow an external fixator will be fitted,” a Honda Racing statement read on Friday. “In addition, John has also suffered four broken vertebrae and has three broken back ribs, John will wear a cast for up to six weeks in treatment for the vertebrae. John will remain at Royal Victoria Hospital for around one week as part of the recuperation process.”
Real shame to hear McGuinness out. I really look forward to the coverage of the TT, no BS just racing.

Hoping all goes well with his recovery.

The TT gets better every year as the young chargers improve and the oldies refuse to retire. Favourite will be Hutchinson, but you really can't call it.
The NW has been good this year. Amazes me to see 4 riders at full speed slipstreaming like made but still lifting the front wheel as they change up.
Must be among the most incredible adrenaline rushes.

Sorry to hear about this. All that time riding on the limit, then this. Bikes are great but you just don't stand a chance against motor vehicles.
Was just going to post about Guy! Love the bloke. Wish he would win one.
Errr - not really. Martin just plays the "great guy to be around" act very well.
It wore through a few years ago in many circles. 4 "autobiographies" on its all a bit tedious.
McPint, Dunlops (plural)' Hutchins etc are leagues above.

This year's contenders are now Dunlop (M), Hutchy - the most boring man in the world (should have been a snooker player, but to come back from those injuries) and maybe Hickman. Guy's nice enough, but he'd need some serious luck and a bit of misfortune for the others to win one.
Sad to hear about William Dunlop, tough guys and family.
Dan Kneen was another big loss at this years' TT (also another rider but cant recall his name), but the guys know the risk. William Dunlop lost his Uncle and Father to the road. I'm a great believer in choice, and as long as others don't get hurt by those decisions, then so be it but I think road racing's days are probably going to be numbered before long.
