Everyone, I'm with Jean-Luc at Duke. He is up and about and doing well, except he can't use his bandaged right hand, his left arm is in a sling and his rib hurt, especially when he tries to laugh. But otherwise, he's doing great and he sends his thanks for all the get well wishes. He doesn't remember anything except following the control rider and waking up in the ambulance. At the speed he was going, I don't think he could have locked the front tire up, I can only suspect that he happened to turn on top of something too small for people to notice on the track and that the bike dropped onto him. But I guess we'll never really know.
Thanks again to everyone for handling this so well, it certainly kept me from freaking out.
Paul
