The young CDN. Brett McCormick, 2011 CDN. superbike champion, fell today on his Ducati in the rain and broke his 5th & 6th vertabrea. No neurolgical damage.
It was a rain soaked weekend in Assen with many top level riders falling.
Canada is behind you Brett. Get well soon.
Simoncelli apparently was asked if he was afraid of dying in a racing accident & he responded: "NO. You live more for 5 minutes going fast on a bike like that than other people do in all of their life."

Ma che cazzo hai detto!!!!!!!!!
I just read the team's news release. Never watched it.
Thanx for the update. It was about as close to a broken back and paralysis as it gets as I understand. Hope he is back riding soon.

Not wearing gear while riding is like unprotected sex. Sooner or later you're going to get a rash!

Thanks for all the well wishes everybody!
Brett is sleeping comfortably and will be assesed tomorrow, to see if surgery is necessay to stabilize his C5.
Other than that a broken thumb and assorted bruises etc (two black eyes).
He was lucky and will be making a full and speedy recovery.
I would like to thank Shoei and Alpinestars for doing an awesome job and keeping this from being much worse.
Have to add how unbelievably supportive the Effenbert-Liberty team has been, feels like family. The best.
And a huge thank you to all the track side & medical centre staff for their time & attention to Brett following his crash.

Was Checa a lap behind?
Get well soon Brett.

Checa had rull rains on his Duc. Everyone else was on either slicks or intermediates, he did a few laps then made a pit stop to put on more suitable tires. By the time he got back out he was in last.

What a bad luck. Hopefully he can be back soon.
I found this when looking at the crash (since many people say it was Checa's fault, which I didin't think so) ... it's an interview from Assen done, I believe on Wed or Thu last week ....
