I'm still disappointed in all the dudes in here last week basically saying he was faking it. You still think he's faking it?
Edit : Not you Vetmxr , it was directed at the guys that went after him last week.

Most people have no clue, as evidenced by the usual “chest protector for shoulder injury protection” posts. It’s one of the dumbest concepts in the entire sport.
But so was the Doug Henry thing.
Even Ronnie Mac, look what he came back from
after his Daytona wreck.
Then look at Rick Johnson.
Effin broken wrist ended it for him.
Kind of agree with a somewhat fragile set of shoulders.
Who knows, #3 might still remember the hurt,
the pain in the ass injury can be, and unlike some others is saying to himself fuck it.....there is life after moto.

I thought it had been established that in today's world of medicine, RJ wouldn't of been done.
Saw the other day some guy in China is gonna transplant a human head.
So yeah, maybe so.
But even in today's world, it doesn't always turn out like it's supposed to.
After the crash that wrecked both of his shoulders he has never shown the speed that he did prior to that. He still has the speed to win but he’s never been the same.
Pit Row
Well, he paid for it so I guess it is.
Whether this is true or not I have no idea, I'm
no doctor nor am I the OP.
I had my left rotator cuff completely rebuilt in 2014 and the surgeon asked me to quit MX because if it happened again he said there was not enough material left to fix it again.
Massive tears like Eli experienced are nothing to F around with, I hope he doesn't need another surgery or worse have to call it a career.
just because his doctor was way beyond what the average guy could ever afford, and did very meticulous work.
just because the media needs a story, and loves a pretty boys story....
does not mean that a broken arm was anything bigger than a broken arm.
wise up youngsters.
there have been some very severe injuries in this sport, which very awesome riders have returned from.
this pretty boy's glamorous tale, is the flavor of the month, brought to you by those who can make money off of it.
Tomac and his recovery was quite complete, ask the fellow racers.
the media could be talking about how that all the current young men in the 450's have never been consistent, or dominating, as the previous 5 champions were.
that's the story which will make one hell of a season.
But not to fear, because the honorable Dr.Jeffro has given a full assessment of Eli's shoulder on another thread.
