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.
Best wishes Guy,hope you make a complete recovery.
I don’t know, was eating bloody fish and chips when I heard at Ramsey, nearly bloody dropped em!!
Get well soon and looking forward to seeing you back on the bike again!!
Jamie and Logan!
Get well soon, boss! Hope they make a decent infusion at the docs.

chin up guy its not all bad wilson craig recons he can salvage the spark plugs .
glad to see your on the mend guy, get well soon, that was an awful 20 minutes waiting for news on you when you first crashed, we were all convinced you were dead, there was a deadly silence up cronk a voddy and a big cheer went up when it was announced you were awake and talking..all the best fella!
So pleased to hear your on the way to being mended. I’ve just seen the MCN picture of the bike fire and I’m guessing that’s going to take a lot longer to fix. No half measures from Guy Martin, as per usual. How’s the hospital tea though? As bad as ever?
All the best. G&S
Well boy you had a first at the TT but not the type you wanted you are the first to have the senior TT red flagged lets not see that again was looking forward to the press trial with you but theirs next year.

What a week Guy! Very pleased to hear you are on the mend. Hope you can put it all behind you and make a successful come back.
Best wishes Guy; Honda’s “ownage” of the TT this year wouldn’t have been the same without you!
