Not good for the rest of the Aussie Enduro Title defence either :pinch: :whistle:
Not to mention the fast approaching FINKE :unsure:

I`m sure he will recover (as Grabbo did) he is tougher that nails that bloke ,,,

Surgery was today apparently :whistle:
Scary going under the knife in a foreign country too (US have a poorer health system than ours I think) :unsure:

Remains to be seen how much of his costs will be covered , he wasn`t riding for KTM Aus was he ???? :whistle:

All the best to him for sure !!!

Taken from his FB page

“Well that’s a kick in the ass, still waiting on the insurance company to get back to the doctors so they can start the surgery…. So its got canceled for another day at the moment grrrrrrrr”

I say its covered nut but without drama it seems :blink:

Better to get on a plane and get home, if the insurer backs out or finds a loophole he’ll be in the hole 100K or more.

Yeah,
That`s what Andy Lloyd (Newy local) did after his bad off at the ISDE in Portugal :pinch:
Surgery back at home, but the trip would have been hell to get through ,,,,,,

Far out!! :ohmy: It seems as though he is very fortunate to still have feeling etc.

I wish him all the best in his long road to recovery.

That looks shocking, must be driving him nuts wanting to get the surgery done. Would be a nightmare plane trip, and possibly too much risk to travel. Remember Shane watts op was 110k from memory. Hope all goes well and insurance gets sorted.

SO, Toby was airlifted back home to have surgery in Brisbane tomorrow.
Reportedly his insurance company backed out and he was up for over $300k in the US for the op :whistle: :dry: :huh: :pinch:

Must be so frustrating for both him and his supportive family.

Hope all goes well for him now

Kind of makes you think,,
What kind of coverage would we have normally at in Aus doing what we do ????

Fortunately we have Medicare! If the shit hits the fan they will fix you first and ask questions later unlike the US.
