Get well soon Danny.

A real shame.

Saw him at Hamsterley the other day - still had a smile on his face despite being in a sling. A mate's 15 year old son was visiting his dad and was out with us. He was totally starstruck and was ecstatic at getting his full face helmet signed.

Troy will be back tho.
Brooke and Stevie will be on it I reckon.
Should be good.
Hopefully Gwin won't school everyone.

Rotten news about Danny, looking forward to seeing Troy riding again though.

Feels like it could go about eight different ways after Val D'Isere. Got a feeling Sam Hill could do well.

Fairclough was GB's reserve rider I think GW.

Leaving the story aside, even for Danny Hart that's an exceptionally awful photo, looks like he's trying to decide which eye to stab the photographer in

Ah, yeah, sorry, thought you meant he was in with a shout of winning... v. Long odds on that 😉

Danny is in as world champ and can't be replaced with a reserve as he's not part of the GB quota apparently.

It clarifies it on the link to Dirt above.

At least it'll give him time to concentrate on his musical career:

Gutted, for me, his world champs win is still the best 4 minutes of not just riding, but all sport that I have ever seen.
