At the most recent British MX round Graeme Irwin (Irelands top rider) had a crash and had the bike land on him. He was badly burnt by the exhaust but still raced through the day and finished 4th overall. He has just shared some pictures of the damage and all I can say is this dude is a total machine! Same goes for so many riders out there but it's awesome to see someone from our country do so well on such a big stage and he's been solid top 20s in his first year at the GPs this year!

Get ready to feel queezy! DizzySick





He'll miss the next couple rounds but looks like he's lucky that's all it'll be!

That is brutal and Graeme must be one helluva hard man. How the heck he even managed to continue riding, or walk and let alone also finish 4th at that level, I can only imagine!

Heal up soon Graeme and start kicking arse again ! Been following him in the GP's and rooting for him, he was doing real good.
Best wishes on his recovery.

Amazing that there are rules about pegs, levers etc but nothing about exhaust guards. Those 4t pipes get a lot hotter than the old 2 stroke ones.

That is what Motocross is about " true grit"
Get well soon Graeme

Would love to know that at any point in that race did he ever stop noticing the pain.
