BSB » Guintoli suffers broken leg at Donington

awful luck for Guinters, such a nice bloke and I think one of the few who could really give Camier a fight this year. Get well soon Sylvain!

What bad luck and the worst is he didnt even do it to himself. What a nice bloke - bet Josh Brookes feels awful about this.

(upside - Gives a opportunity to Ellison to cover serious ground.)

Such a shame, not only for him, but for the championship as well. Hope he has a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Guinters!

As someone else mentioned, Rutter's just bought a Crescent Suzuki for the TT. He's also getting technical support from them so he's got to be in with a shout for the ride. It's a perfect opportunity for both parties.

Neil Tuxworth (HM Plant)told Eurosport they didn't find any fault on Brookes' brakes......So?
Either way there goes Camier's biggest competition besides his team-mate,which is not good news from race fans point of view.

What a shame, just as Sylvain was getting into the BSB groove! Hope it's not as bad as it sounds and he makes quick recovery, we need that ace race pace and lovely Gallic smile back on the grid asap. Get well soon Ginters!

When Tubby Carter was interviewing McKenzie & Reynolds, Tubby asked Reynolds about a replacement rider, and he(Reynolds) gave Haydon (standing next to Tubby) a rye ole smile,maybe he (Haydon) might have a shot a filling Guintoli's seat at Crescent?

Then again......

Anyway..get well soon Sylvain...

"Neil Tuxworth (HM Plant)told Eurosport they didn't find any fault on Brookes' brakes......So?"

Hmmm, interesting point... been riding bikes long enough to know that when you leave the your starting point minutes before and the brakes work fine, then suddenly "the lever came right back to the bar" etc as Brooks said after, then when you get back 2 minutes later it all works again it really means...

I was thinking about the wife's shopping list and forgot to brake, or my hand slipped etc, but don't want to admit it etc... either way lost concentration...

How else can you explain this???

"Hope it's not as bad as it sounds"

Alas mary, they intervied Sylvain's doctor and he said it was a particularly nasty break... Will be a while to fully recover I'm afraid... Apparently though Guintoli is in good spirits, so that's good news...

Such a dam shame for Guintoli. A great rider to say the least. My good wishes for his speedy recovery.
As its the only rider Suzuki has they should draft in Plater for the rest of the rides he may be needed as hes probably the best out there right now without a superbike ride and look how well he did last time out covering for injured riders

Bring in Lavilia, a proven race winner and British champ. Plater & Rutter two nice blokes but 'past their sell by date'.
Tuxworth (the vicar from the **** Emery show) said there appeared to be no problem with the brakes on the Honda, and over excited rider on the sighting lap i'd say.
Shame really, ruined a potential good season. It'll be the Camier show now....
