The Doctor

Troy Bayliss, man's man:
Bayliss was transported with an injury to his right hand. His little finger was severely damaged in the spill and it is suspected that local doctors will have to amputate it. Update: Reportedly, Frankie Chili saw Bayliss in the Clinica Mobile post-crash and Bayliss was requesting that his finger be removed so he could race the second race but Dr. Costa's men did not allow it.
And the end result...

"I'm feeling OK but the situation is a bit unknown until I get on the bike" declared Troy. "I've got to be careful not to hit myself down below obviously but the hand feels good. It's certainly going to be different, after all I've only been racing with my little finger for the last twenty years! I've had many worse crashes over the years, this one was just unlucky as far as losing a finger goes. If you looked at me you wouldn't think I'd been in a motorbike accident, you'd think I hadn't paid some bill and the mafia had come and chopped one finger off with a pair of scissors and hit my nuts with a hammer because I haven't got another mark on my body!"
