Guy update : Friday 18th July

Jordan Mackman Zoe, Ami and Eva Todd

Guy is back home. Still battered and very, very bruised but already talking about his comeback. He’ll be back to the blog some, don’t know when but he wanted to say a massive thanks to all the messages, gifts and cards he’s been sent, well over 100 already. He says it’s blown him away – especially the home made cards.

Here are some photos, taken by Madbird, of some special Guy fans who came to see him at the TT last week.

The girls are Zoe, Ami and Eva Todd who came all the way from Northern Ireland to give Guy the pictures they had drawn for him and the lad in the green shirt is Jordan Mackman who brought a good luck letter for Guy. Much appreciated.

Sunday Night: Update on Guy

Just got this in from ace PR man and Guy’s good friend, Phil Wain.

I went to see Guy yesterday but, unfortunately, was unable to get a chat with him as he was being assessed by the doctors at the time but I did have a good chat with his mum, sister and girlfriend and he’s doing fine although he realises what a lucky escape he’s had.

His mum said that he may have actually punctured his lung and so was having a chest drain fitted yesterday morning to aid with the recovery – Guy, of course, wanted to come out yesterday!! He has damaged a couple of vertabrae in his back but is able to sit up in bed and ensure that copious amounts of tea can be drunk. He also lost some skin off his bum and legs as he slid down the road but this was quite superficial and the Dainese leathers did a superb job in preventing this from being worse.

I got a couple of text messages off him this morning and he hopes to be out in 2-3 days – he’s extremely grateful to all the kind messages of support and well wishes he’s received.

Message from Red Torpedo

Everyone at Red Torpedo wishes Guy a speedy and full recovery.
We also send Red Rider Connor Cummins our best wishes too.
Hope to see you both back on the starting grid soon.
