Some of the guys (e.g. Max Neukirchner) were not "throwing their bikes down the road and breaking their bodies in the process... ".
He was in fact rammed off the bike.
That does not alter your statement "It's a good time for those without a ride" - but still it makes a little difference..
By the way: Nice blog, I've been following/reading it for quite a long time alreday.
best,

I've a friend who's on the medical team for BSB at the moment and from what she tells me, it involves rather more work than the course doctors for four-wheeled racing are used to.
I'm normally a 4 wheels man but she's said she'll sort me with free tickets for Knockhill next weekend in return for use of my spare room
