WSBK or MotoGP aren’t risky enough?

You’d think that, if you were spending big money on a world-class motorcycle racing team, you’d prevent your riders from doing things that might endanger their health during the racing season, but apparently not.

Reigning world champion Valentino Rossi joins his teammate Jorge Lorenzo on the “recently bitten by a dirt bike” list. Rossi crashed his dirt bike yesterday in Italy and reportedly injured his back and shoulder in the fall.

Perhaps these motorcycle racers have some sort of adrenaline junkie problem.

As hard as that is to believe.
