Just seen on an Italian moto website that John Dowd has been hospitalised after a crash.
Wishing him well and would appreciate any updates?

From his wife this morning.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give everybody a status update on John after losing a game of chicken with the trees on his dirt bike.
He's overwhelmed by everyone's well wishes and support.
He is battered and bruised in a lot of places. He is stable at the moment. He he has a fracture of the right pubic bone, a widened pelvis, a hematoma in his bladder, and a left tibial plateau fracture. The doctors are working on pain control and making sure they haven't missed any other injuries. While he appreciates all the well wishes and support he has requested no visitors and just wants to focus on getting some rest.

I cant help but laugh at the first line from his wife, " update on John after losing a game of chicken with the trees on his dirt bike" Least she is trying to have a smile on her face during this.

Get well quick John.

One of the all time best guys to get on a race bike. I will never forget his race with LaRocco on that Yamaha factory bike.

Hitting a tree that doesn’t move, at ludicrous speed!

I would have guessed Kiedrowski, or maybe Taddy B. Cool

But yeah, I always liked Dowd too. Hope he gets well soon.

Surely she knows the ropes of us silly dirt bikers and can make light of it. Ride - crash - mend- repeat

GWS Dowdy!
