Please add my best wishes for successful surgery and a full recovery. Barcelona is the place the Moto GP guys choose to go to for repairs so he is in the right place. Andy

Not had the pleasure if meeting Sam but still sending the best of wishes and hoping for a full & speedy recovery.

My thoughts are with his friends and family at this time too.

Ben.

Hi Guys,
I'm unfortunately the bearer of some very bad news. Sam1199s and myself have been in Calafat, Spain this weekend and Sam has had an accident. Sam being his usual thorough self has done a proper job of it and broke most of his ribs, punctured a lung and some very serious breaks to his back. Currently he is in intensive care in Barcelona and they are waiting for him to stabilise so they can operate after which he will probably return home when able to travel. The hospital is Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona which is reputed to be the best spinal hospital in Europe so he is in good hands. Rather than go into further detail on a public forum please get in touch with me via pm on here or Facebook ( david monaghan) and I can give you the low down. I am his personal PA just now to take a bit of pressure off his family so anything happening can go through me.

Sam has a great group of close friends around him and we are doing everything we can to help him and his family in such a difficult time. The bike has a fair bit of damage and Sam has said he would really love to rebuild it so we want to do that to give him a boost with what is likely to be a long recovery. From packing the bike yesterday I can see that most of the front end, tank, and much of the fairings are smashed. There's quite bad wheel damage but I'm hopeful this can be repaired. The main body including the engine and exhaust look ok fingers crossed. Once we get it stripped down I'll give a further update but in the mean time if there's anything anyone can help with then please do let me know. I have quite a lot of parts that I can contribute and we are going to have a whip around between us to raise some money, perhaps a funding page would be appropriate?

Sam is completely with it and able to chat to visitors but these are restricted because it's an intensive care ward but some of the guys have been doing FaceTime/Skype calls which have been really great as he's very happy to talk to people and have the contact despite the pain. He's not able to get onto a computer but we are relaying messages. I'm here until Wednesday night and his parents and girlfriend are also here or between here and the UK. Here's us doing our best sexy faces which as you can see are damn sexy.
