Solid as could be. Great ride, didn't bitch about riding with a broken thumb, didn't make it an excuse, just rode with it

Imagine if reed broke his thumb and got 2nd? fuck he would be talking about everyone counting him out and how he did it with a broken thumb and how he is so good and blah blah blah.

Heroic ride. Probably just ended his season. The thumb will only get worse if he tries to keep going with it. Damn shame he got hurt in a mild crash.

Or to pop their kickstands and look at a map or something.

Wow. Talk about grapefruit sized balls. It's badass to ride while your adrenaline is pumping but to then come back the following week is even more badass.

He definitely broke it. Saw it before it was x-rayed and it was huge. After it was x-rayed he said it was broke right at the joint. Like Gibby said, Zach said he'll be back next week, but if you've broken your thumb before you know that could change as we get closer to Phoenix. You could tell it was a bitter sweet night for Zach and even though his mouth was saying he was going to race through it, you could tell somewhere inside he was battling with the reality that his season could possibly be over.

It could also change bassed off if he needs surgery in order yo be ready for the outdoors.
I hope he can make it through the season and win this for Husky.

I love the tenacity from ZO. Just gotta gut it out sometimes. Playing sports growing up, I had a coach that always told me, "it's just pain, it's all the same". When you realize that, it's easier to put it out of your mind and focus on the task at hand. Adrenalin can do a lot to hide the pain. The hard part for him is going to be in practice and in the heat races when the adrenalin isn't pumping as much and there is less at stake. Regardless, love seeing him gut it out - that's the epitome of our sport.

Did Osborne ever confirm that he broke the thumb when Bowers made the pass? Or did he injure it when Bisceglia dropped him?

Hard to complain about your thumb when the rider that beat you only has one!

Nelson has adapted to that and has the prosthetic but still.
