Pic Special: Guy Martin's crashed Fireblade

YOU'RE LOOKING AT the remnants of Guy Martin's Honda Fireblade, following his high-speed crash at the ultra-fast Ballagarey section of the TT course.

The Lincolnshire rider survived the enormous prang, sustaining bruised lungs and small fractures to his spine. Doctors say he is going to be ok.

"We've not been able to shut him up yet," said the specialist treating the charasmatic racer.

Not sure the bike's going to see much action again.
