Bayliss, Kagayama Fit For Valencia - Polita Possible for Assen

The Donington race saw three serious accidents, for Troy Bayliss, Yukio Kagayama and Alessandro Polita.

The reigning world champion needed the amputation of two bones from the little finger of his right hand and also suffered a severely bruised testicle. The surgery was carried out at Derbyshire Royal Infirmary. Unless there are complications, Bayliss will be back behind the clip-ons of his Ducati 999 by the next round of the championship at Valencia on the 15th of April.

Yukio Kagayama will also be back in time for Valencia. The Suzuki rider had to miss the Donington race as a precaution after crashing during testing on friday and briefly losing consciousness.

Not so lucky is Alessandro Polita, who crashed while contesting his first race of the season. The Celani team rider aggravated a previous shoulder injury and has returned to Italy for recovery and physiotherapy which is expected to take approximately 25 days. He will have a check up on the Thursday before the Assen race (26th April) to establish his fitness to ride.

which you think hurt worse at the time of the crash, the broken finger or the 'severely bruised testicle'? He's lucky to already have kids, I think.

Since Bayliss clanks when he walks, I'm guessing his testicles will be just fine.

That shoulder thing for Polita is probably the worst.

once speed shows the SS race I will get to see the crashes, I think they happened in the race.
