Re: Ian Hutchinson
I'm not seeing that as a bad thing in honesty... that place/sport was going to finish him off.

Re: Ian Hutchinson
Like they say “rules are rules” regardless of how well he is doing.
Fingers crossed he’s truly well and fit for when he gets it back and can compete next season.

Re: Ian Hutchinson
It's times like these when rules are a positive thing. Often racers and the racing mentality needs to be protected from themselves.

Re: Ian Hutchinson
I'm not sure if after having a stroke, racing motorbikes is ever gonna be a good thing.

Re: Ian Hutchinson
Driving on the road is a smidge different to road racing tho?? Not sure that banning him from road racing for a year but letting him drive a car is daft at all!westers151 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 12:34 pm The daft thing is he's been given the all clear to drive on the road.
My old riding buddy was properly hollered at by his heart surgeon - she'd told him he could driver again, so he went home and got the bike out. Rode the bike two or three times a week until the next appointment. Told her then what he'd being doing and she went nuts at him - riding a bike is considered a bit more risky for the heart than driving a car!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Re: Ian Hutchinson
Did they explain why it's more risky for the heart? I'm guessing that your body is more in survival mode when riding, and so more stress, which equals faster heart rate, etc.Noggin wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 4:47 pmDriving on the road is a smidge different to road racing tho??

To be fair, I had a heart attack 3 years ago (2 stents, only 48, they couldn't figure out why I'd developed the reason for the attack (2 clots)), it was early September, so it was October when DVLA were ok for me to drive, by which time I'd put the bike away for winter. However I was told to do next to nothing for 4 weeks after the attack, and after that I was told to try and get back to normal activity. I went out and took the dog for a very fast 3 mile walk.
I understand the race ban, but it does perhaps bring into question just how quickly you're allowed to drive after a stroke; and yes, it all depends on the severity of the stroke, etc, etc.
