Seems to happen to one contender or another every week. Too much airport food?
The Shop
Its always corn dogs since the smell, and taste of the fried portion will cover up the spoiled flavor. Its just my thought, and may not be 100% accurate.
Remember when everyone was getting that a few years back.
And now it is gone.
I honestly think that just a slight change in the way a meal is prepped or where the food is sourced from can upset the digestive system of a person that eats healthy and has a very strict diet over a person that chows down whatever fast food they feel like.
A good example of this is I spent a weekend with my parents and daughter they all wanted pizza while I wanted something else. To make a long story short 2 slices of peperoni and a salad with just red wine vinegarette for dressing had me sitting on the porcelain throne for 2 days while everyone else was fine.

I've never had food poisoning. I only average less than 1 cold a year, sometimes go a year or two with no illness. Maybe I am a freak but just because you travel doesn't mean you get sick.
Now the interaction with all the kids. That's a more likely culprit. The things I see my daughter touch and then how often her fingers are in her mouth literally makes me gag at times. It drives me crazy. I'm sure they interact with tons of these germed up kids all the time.
Also factor in another immune weakener, the PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS that comes along with the territory; feeling pressure from sponsors, feeling pressure they put on themselves, race day stress, along with any personal life stressors, can also have an enormous effect on the immune system. It's NOT a matter of whether these guys come across pathogens that make them sick - that happens all of us every day. What determines whether they get sick is how well their immune system are functioning. Professional moto is both a physically and mentally stressful job.
Oxygen Toxicity? I don't know if these guys warm up on their stationary bikes with an oxygen mask supplement. But I can tell you from experience if you get too much oxygen it feels exactly like food poisoning. Sweats, Nausea, Cramping and Vomiting. And it take about a day or two to feel better.
This cycle is what can lead to an exacerbation to the latent mono virus, that is dormant, and can lead to chronic mono(Epstein-Barr). Therefore, the results to both are a compromised immune system with similar results, although these incidents are more acute.
and these guys talk about training hard etc. yer fucking up if yer training hard during the week racing scooters. that shit is done pre season not during the season. you think the nfl trains during the season like they do in training camp?
man most of these dorks on here are dumber than a small dog
