alright?
I wouldn't trust rumors, after Schumacher's accident people were saying all kinds of stuff. But that said, it does not look promising in the least.

Poor Hayden, even in his winning season the guy couldn't catch a break. Good luck to him, let's hope for a miracle of modern medicine.

Huh, I haven't even seen the other stuff about Nicky. I've just been going off the actual hospital statements. I'm surprised at hte last one though that he's not in an induced coma. Which is somehow even more worrying.

race tires on road are a great idea, ask me!

Hmm, interesting, good to know.

At the very least they'd have him paralysed, and I'd be seriously surprised if they haven't drilled a few relief holes in his skull to help relieve pressure/insert a drain, don't need to go into surgery for that, that's a bedside procedure.

I was watching that last night. They showed his damaged bike before they showed the incident and I thought he must have all but killed himself. He went out in the next session and low sided before he could set a decent lap.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

from one form of kid's programming to another :v:

saw later apparently there was fluid down on the track, which is a reasonable explanation for out-of-nowhere synchronized low-sides I suppose

Apparently there's CCTV footage of the crash and Nicky apparently just pulled out of a junction right into the path of the car. Dang.
