Last news is he doesn't need surgery but is advised not to ride till February:

Morgue, sounds almost good news on Casey thanks for the information, nothing in the papers here which proves Europe papers are more interested than the Aussie lot.Dr Halpin is about the best there is lets hope it is only rest needed, Febuary does kinda put him behind the blackball, wonder if he will ride the 07 model as he will not have done much work on the 08. When you go back through the recent World Champions being number one seems to have much bad luck luck attached, perhaps an honourable second maybe safer????

Could be superstition Saltbush, if you want your champ to win send him positive energy
I'm not a big Stoner fan but it is good to know he has no permanent damage on the shoulder,
my gutfeeling says the '07 bike might actually bring him more luck than the new one (but maybe that's superstition too).
That young Canepa is quite good with it, isn't he? Saw aome amazing pictures of him completely flat in the corners

And here is another article on Stoners injury:

Thanks Morgue for the Casey links, as you may have guessed computers are not my forte but I am now learning to copy and paste this makes finding your links much easier, I used to have to write the hhtp on a piece of paper then type it in WITHOUT making a mistake.
Yep superstitish would never wear green always mounted from the left and wouldn't let a female on the seat, funny thing is it didn't seem to work real well of course I never found out what would have happened if I didn't have this ritual

Allright Saltbush, if I find more I'll pass them on.
I think you are doing a good job with copy pasting, it sure helps with these long links!

There was an interesting stance on the relativity of superstition by Giacomo Agostini in an advert:

(and we're talking about a man who won in the era when they often raced a foot away from walls and lampposts...)

aaaah!! ..thats why Hopkins is getting married now

He will be there ready to kick yellow butt again in Qatar at the start of the 08 season.....
playing fox for the media and rossi fans, just makes the first victory of the season so much sweeter

Agostini? As far as I know marty ...he's not riding in the motogp next year...

poor gina, sorry to be the one to have to inform you but Ago has retired. Google for the facts, first time for everything eh!
Keep trying though your a constent source of amusment this end....
