    Wrist is a sh!tter if it’s broken. Often doesn’t hurt that much and can take ages to heal (from experience).

    I rode that home and took me 2 days to get it checked in the hospital.

    No such thing as a good time to get injured but this was always going to be Pog's last race day until June.

    I have been so lucky crashing... Never broke anything. I think a lot of it is your natural reaction... You got grippers, reachers and fetalists

    It’s also luck. I hit a rider coming the other way head on. Broke my wrist when I hit them and then again when they landed on me.

    One of those sausages has Orval cheese in it, and it's marvellous. Never really understood cheese in sausage before

    Despite the lack of form, I don't think anyone is giving him that leeway
