What, he's fallen off his bicycle again

The trouble is that its in Tasmania, where screaming in pain like a lunatic is normal

Glad to hear it's not too bad. I remember  a few years ago at the F3000 race at Spa helping Sid Watkins carry him to the medical car following an enormous off at Radillon on the first lap.
Then in a following F1 race he had a shunt at La Source on the first lap and lost his front wing end plate which I scooped up and brought it back with me. It went on E bay and I sold it to the chairman of the Mark Webber fan club in Australia, who took it to a meeting and Mark then signed it.
He did send me a photo of it with the sig on but I appear to have lost it in my PCs black hole !!
Always go into a corner too fast, in case it turns out to be a quick one!

He had a near miss this year before Monaco when one of the group he was riding with was knocked over by a car.
He was  less shaken driving a Merc at Le Mans in 99 ;D
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
