| Laguna Seca - The Corkscrew |
According to the fountain of all knowledge, Wikipedia,
"In human anatomy, the clavicle or collarbone is a 'long bone'
of short length that serves as a strut between the scapula and the
sternum...It receives its name from the Latin: clavicula
('little key')”
At this moment in time, Jorge Lorenzo's collarbone
probably bears more resemblance to Spaghetti Junction than any
skeleton I've ever seen, and yet in spite of a recently re-aligned
titanium rod (and more screws than a worn out wench) he will compete
at Laguna Seca – and you just know that means he will reeeally
compete. There are no half measures: all in, balls out; go hard or go
home...sorry, that reads like stage directions for a decidedly dodgy
porno. The point is, Lorenzo is certain to be the most influential
man in this weekend's MotoGP result.
With Bradl and Bautista on the front row but unlikely
to beat championship leader Marquez to the first apex, the real
battle is from 4th to 7th on the grid where the
remainder of the title contenders reside. It is therefore up to JL to
mix it up in this race – if he gets involved it's destined to be
one hell of a battle; if not it will degenerate into the usual
procession and yet another week with a Marquez, Crutchlow, Rossi
podium
As for World Superbikes, Tom Sykes has
set himself and his humongous chin up for a heroic comeback ride
after a crash in Superpole left him unable to post a time in the
final session, leaving him to start from well down the grid. With BSB
from Brands Hatch to fill the gaps between the premier races, this
really will be an unforgettable weekend of track action.
But just remember – the key is in the
collarbone
