Road racing is a world where the level of risk isn't even in the same ballpark as a circuit. Walls, curbs, houses are right there, no room for a single mistake from corner entry to exit. Having watched it in person, a top rider putting recovery first is smarts, not weakness. Nothing's scarier than going out on the road when you're not at 100%.

Road racing carries especially high injury risk, so not pushing it is a wise call.

Since he's a proven winner at both the Isle of Man TT and the Southern 100, his absence is a real shame.

The article doesn't give specifics on the injury yet, so that's what I'm curious about.

Prioritizing recovery is the right call, but it's probably a downside for the event's ticket draw.

With a top-class rider missing, the overall level of the Southern 100 seems set to shift.

If anything, this also opens up the title chances for other riders.
