I guess I'm showing my age, but a guy named Kenny Roberts (even Jr.)
riding a Suzuki just doesn't sound right. :-) And if Doohan's got a
tib/fib fracture, it'll be a while. Unfortunately, I speak from
experience! There are compensations, though; my own extended recovery
from such gave me the chance to do some Karting, which I'd probably
never have done otherwise. And btw, driving with a cast on really
puts the fear into your competitors. They tend to give you plenty of
room!

Hope he is back real soon. Watching the rest of the GP500 riders is a
bit like settling for the B team. It would of been nice to see Roberts
and Doohan fight it out for the title. I am sure whoever wins it would
of appreciated it more if they beat Doohan over a whole season.
I would love to see them give Doohan's bike to Anthony West, a yound
Aussie doing well in the 250's. Anybody but a clone Jap rider!
Come on Kenny, show em what a Suzuki wit a real rider can do!
Reports say Mick will be back in the championship in 8 weeks, but I thinks
they made that up. How would anyone know this yet? I hope he can make a
comeback, but I think we will see Max Biaggi ride really well now. The
psychological war between him and Doohan is over for the moment and Max will
relax a bit. I read a good quote about Max by Micheal Scott, something about
"balls nearly as big as his mouth"!

His leg is fractured just below the knee. Luckily (?) it is a vertical
fracture. He will be back in 4 to 5 weeks I reckon.

Racist? Some of my best friends are Asian. My next door neighbour is
Japanese and we get along like wildfire. Clone Jpa rider means exactly
that. Another Japanese who gets the ride because its a Japanese factory
and because they go fast on the Jpanese domestic tracks.

Beattie was great but he phsyched himself out of 500's.
Perhaps McCoy. it ould be nice since Dohan stole his team from under him!

However........his doctor today said he will suggest a three month break to allow
for full healing. Hope is only misses three rounds. That will give the otheres a
reasonable headstart to make the season closer a the end!
