Tony and Nigel went off at Sulby Bridge. Talking to a TM Tony said the brakes disappeared. Tony's fine, Nigel's done something to ankle and possibly leg. Will find out more in the morning.
Nothing serious at least.

Just spoke to Tony.
Nigel has been operated on today. Couple of broken bones in foot and ankle, no pins put in just put straight set in plaster and is fine apart from that.
