With the pins in place to hold his shoulder in, it should. Can't imaging putting up with a simple slap on the back dislocating his shoulder.
It's pretty bad, in that video of his from Cervera he was asked about the shoulder, and he said its come put at least 25 times this year alone. Apparently a few hours to LeMan's race this year, too.
These guys are utterly insane: I mean they're practically midgets riding around on a 270hp death trap, banging elbows at 150mph+ and falling all the time. Its been a while since we've seen it, but most get put on pain killers and are expected to ride that way. They really are Alien-like, I don't even like riding in the rain anymore due to an arthritic knee, ankle and shoulder.
The race was probably what I thought Silverstone would be like, but at 1/2 the speeds we saw in Valencia; it felt like 1/2 the grid was missing by the time the red flag came out, the amount of crashes that weekend was absurd! Someone needs to tally all of them just to put it all into perspetive, FP1/2 was like 53 crashes in all classes, right?
Lets see how JLO gets on with the HRC at testing.
true enough, and that would be rewarding
if he'd hung on a year ore two, prolly could have replaced VR with Yamaha
but I guess that could still happen anyway after a brief stint with KTM
I doubt it, if things shape out well at KTM why would he leave?
I think Morbedelli is being groomed for that seat at this point. Mir on that bike might be interesting, too, since he always said he has more of a Rossi riding style.
