Update on Marc Marquez and it's good news.
http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2020/07/marquez-surgery-successful-no-damage-to-radial-nerve/
He did break his upper right arm (humerus bone). 10% of those types of fractures involve damage to the radial nerve which is involved in controlling the wrist and fingers. Fortunately there was no damage to the radial nerve. So it's just a matter of healing the break. He's got a titanium plate in there right now. His return to racing is unknown, but he will definitely miss the next round in Jerez this weekend.

No, the conclusion is that MotoGP doesn't give a crap about the health of their riders. They need to bring in mandatory layoff times for various injuries because it's ridiculous that we're lauding the "bravery" of a man who's coming back far too soon for the sake of the championship.

^ Agree with that
However, in the meantime he withdrew from the gp and will not start tomorrow

Since it doesn't make it clear in the video itself, he walked away.

I like the series of modern Triumph Bonnevilles with solid wheels he did.
That most recent one with the spokeless wheels and the air-cooled flat-six is amazing. I know he's engraved "Rolls-Royce" into the rocker cover, but that's not a Rolls-Royce engine. It's either from a Corvair or something like a Franklin or Lycoming aircraft engine.

Crofty (Sky F1 commentator) mis-pronounces "cost-cutting".
Obvious language warning.
Very very obvious language warning.

I hate Croft as a commentator. I'd much rather have Di Resta, Button, Herbert, Chandook, or Hill in there along side Brundle.
All he does is yell all the time and say the wrong ****. He's terrible

That would make him pretty popular with the Murray Walker crowd.

Yep, most of them are 'that would have ruined his race', this one would have likely killed him if he took it square on.
