Lorenzo - balls of steel

I've just watched the warm up for the Dutch GP and couldn't believe what I was seeing when Lorenzo was getting on hi bike ready to go out for the warm up

That guy must have balls of steel! High sided on Thursday and broke his collar bone, flew back to Barcelona to get it worked on and then flew back to Assen, went out in the warm up and finished 8th fastest

Well done to Cal for getting his first ever poll position in Moto GP

Wilco Zeelenberg just said on national television the reason he was brought to Barcelona was that all Dutch hospitals didn't have an operating room available and the rider must wait at least 24hrs after an operation before being allowed to race.

His collarbone broke in 2 places and one of the parts was pointing a bit inwards so they installed a metal plate.

I was there, had a great day"

Best Moto GP race I have seen for a while.

Congrats for Lorenzo, going out there and grabbing some points. Hopefully later this year they'll be enough to get ahead.

Here's the link for the race:

Loved to see Rossi back upfront
