Brett McCormick Update

[Hogboy]

Sounds like Brett is on track for a full recovery, despite breaking his C5 neck vertebrae.  Here's a write-up: http://www.crash.net/World+Superbikes/news/178973/1/mccormick_blames_checa_for_assen_incident.html

Here's a vid of the crash - Checa forces him wide while being a lap down.  2012 WSBK Assen - Race 2 - Brett McCormick

Good to hear he's recovering.  I know it's racing and all, but for Checa to pull that after having to pit at that stage of the race was pointless at the least and downright dangerous, as it ultimately proved, at worst.  There was no way he was going to finish in any meaningful position, and now another rider is in the hospital due to his pointless haste.  I think Carlos is overall a good rider and racer, I hope he takes time to apologize to McCormick at some point.
