first he takes himself out of the title fight due to his last crash:

then he crashes in spain and is "in doubt" for the race:

seems to be some conflicting news about the severity of his injuries.
Me thinks Dr. Costa should sit this guy down for a couple races before he turns himself into Wayne Rainey.
Yikes! It all seems like fun and games now, but he's gonna be hating life when he turns 40.
Btw it's gonna rain tomorrow, don't ask me how I know [roll]
I agree. I think he's pushing harder due to not being able to ride in his normal form. They really should consider letting him heal. One of these subsequent get-offs isn't going to end up so nice and could tank the rest of his season or worse damage him for future. I know they want to push to stay in the championship race, but if he falls further back, they might want to consider letting him recover to full fitness and prepair for a championship run in 09'. He's young and is a big investment for Yamaha. These dudes are tough and I know Jorge isn't going to voluntarily get off that bike. Hard to handle. Sometimes you should listen to your body and make a decision for what hopes to be a long and successful GP career.
...and he's not gonne race:

Who needs Google.............
When we have Derby ;D ;D
i think he´s trying to outdo Rossi (seems he can´t beat Rossi in races or outside the race track.. the kid lacks carisma) and Asimo.
He should just be himself. Since his 125cc days and previous, he tries so damn hard he actually screws things up for himself. I give him credit as a fighter, a survivor.. but he doesn´t know how to conduct himself as a person. He can´t outdo Rossi´s post race antics, I don´t think anyone can. Some spanish friends are really pro Lorenzo but, most just think he´s a muppet.
