Never heard them say anything about him other than he wasn’t in the main

Yep. Either his wrist or his hand.

He looked like the lights were on, but nobody home to me.

I picked him on my fantasy team, it was my fault. I'm the new Racer X cover.

He was holding his wrist between practice today. Looked like it was hurting him. The whole team seemed to struggle today.

If he does have a concussion I cant see him back next week. Who decides on how long he sits out for?

My ONLY complaint is the replays so far. Ill take it if it means we get the rest of this amazingness, but imagine all this plus good replays.. perfection.

I think they have a minimum set amount of time and it's not a week.

Don’t they have to be given another look at before they can get the green light to race the following weekend?

I thought they had set a number of weekends before they were looked at a few years ago.

Any concussion in my books needs time and next week is too soon regardless of what a Doc says. Im thinking 4 weeks as a minimum.

Concussion’s are so hard. So many variables. In most sports it’s a minimum of at least a week out. Does anyone know if he’s had any before? If he has it could be way longer then just a week. However it plays out I wish him all the best. He has shown a ton of potential to compete on 450’.

I thought they took a "test". Before the start of the season I know they had to take a concussion test on the computer. Then after they have a concussion, they have to take the test again to make sure they are up to some level to prove their fit to ride.

I was thinking it was something like that since they showed him just sitting there with his head down. Also did anyone else catch what sounded like Ralph calling Ricky, Jeff right before the 250 LCQ. I couldn’t rewind it to hear it again, maybe someone with the gold app can?

That sucks to hear. I hope he recovers well.

He asked...have you figured a gate that is best yet (kinda could have sounded like Jeff instead of yet?)

Don’t they do a baseline cognitive test, and after a concussion you have to repass the same test with a predetermined score at a minimum to even be considered ready for a return to competition. Not a bad idea in my book, then the Doc has the final say, or something like that.

He has to pass his concussion protocol, so the time off is undetermined.

It looked like the medical team was looking at his helmet for signs of impact?

Curious What kind of lid does he run and what kind of record does it have?

Obviously he’s injured bad. If he didn’t return for the LCQ then I have to assume he’s out for a few weeks. Hope he heals up soon and gets back out there. Sometimes this can help rookies oddly enough. They get to come back with no pressure and it makes their season a little shorter so they aren’t dealing with the grind of the schedule as much while learning the 450.

Don’t start the concussion debate around here, it will end up in the dumbgeon.

I’d fully expect to see Bowers or JG under the Kawi rig for the upcoming rounds.
