Well there goes the whole team, didn't Audette break his pelvis last year?

@smee113: Audette broke his wrist last year in Dallas. They also have Vann Martin, but not sure when he will be back after breaking his wrist during the off-season.

Damn.....big props for him going up to the 450 class last year. Would've been swingin' the shirt for him outdoors this year.

Gee what is going on with all of the injuries? Not good! At least everyone that races or like used to race know we have to deal with this stuf. It finnaly catches up with you. Not sure what the right thing to say is? I just wish the best for all! Ride fast , ride safe and still go for the win! It just does not work like that?

These guys are cruzing around on Cadilacs these days.. I would hate to see these riders 30 years back probably wouldn't make it down the start straight before going to the hospital!
