Lee Johnston Tt

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by Deano69, Feb 22, 2024.

  1. Heard on the grapevine that poor old LJ has had a bad off during winter practice breaking his leg. Must be a serious doubt for the TT as he was already up against it from the NW injuries 2023.hope he has a speedy recovery

  2. Oh no. Poor man especially after last year. Gutted for him.

  3. nothing on his social media

    lets hope not, breaking the same leg twice if it is is bad bad news
     
  4. My bro-in-law lives on the same Street and gets the inside info from his neighbours.
     
  5. Not good. He's had a bad run of luck.
     
  6. Hopefully it’s not his femur again. That can be very nasty. He did have an off in Spain a few weeks back but was fine. Hope he recovers quickly both physically and mentally.

  7. I hope he’s ok , I follow him on youtube and he deserves a bit of good luck after the last big off he had.

  9. Can only echo all this. A manifestly good bloke.
     
  10. @Deano69 are you sure your source is correct? I don’t do Facebook but I just had a look on Lee’s pages and it appears to my untrained eye (on Facebook) that he has posted today. Of course I could be totally wrong or it could be a post made on his behalf. But I hope I’m right for Lee’s sake.
    Maybe someone who is familiar with facebook could confirm?

  11. I checked last night on instagram and there was no mention of anything.
     
  12. Here's hoping the neighbourhood whispers are wrong!!

  15. Well unfortunately the info was correct on lee latest vlog! Broken tib and fib not sure how long he’s going to be out for.
     
  16. Bugger. Just seen the video. Sounds very unlucky but I’m hoping that it’s not too serious for him this time. Poor lad needs a break - of the good kind.
    GWS Lee.
     
  17. :confused:
    Bugger, met him a couple of years ago on a JW trackday, a really nice down to earth fella.
    :(

  18. Why are there so many crashes at Cartagena?

    Hopefully Lee gets better soon in time for the TT
     
  19. Because it’s got no real straights (short start finish excluded). Really narly circuit.

  20. In this case ? Sounds like he was pretty unprepared, riding an unfamiliar bike, had poor weather and was riding in what appears to be a commercial track day. I have experience of watching pretty average riders trying to mix it with Josh Brookes at Cartagena and making total arses of themselves. Lee said it wasn’t down to him so could have been a similar situation. Generally, I think Cartagena is getting too tight for modern high performance bikes. As Expat says, it’s knadgery. Andy
