Hey John, great to hear from you again, nice to hear you are settling back into the Aussie way of life. I hope all the paperwork goes smoothly in regards to your wife, because as I've found out with my god-daughter paperwork sucks. :p :
In other news, I've started my new job. That's right kids, I'm no longer with Honda. I am now an athlete liasion for Red Bull, my turf is the MotoGP series and Spanish CEV, that means I travel to most if not all MotoGP races plus all the Spanish CEV races. :D
Oh and Corny to answer your question, first to crash in 2009 will be Carlos Checa. :)
