Webber to have leg surgery
Eurosport - Tue, 23 Jun 13:55:00 2009
Mark Webber will undergo surgery to remove two screws from his leg ahead of the German Grand Prix next month.
The Australian broke his leg in a cycle accident during the off-season, and will use the three-week break after the British Grand Prix to have metalwork taken out.
"I'm having the two locking screws at the bottom of my right shin taken out," said Webber, who added that a titanium rod would stay in place.
"The bone has recovered sufficiently for the screws to be removed, which is great news. It's not a big operation, just a local anaesthetic."
The Red Bull driver was an injury doubt for the start of the season, but has made an excellent start to the 2009 campaign.
His second-place finish at Silverstone on Sunday, behind team-mate Sebastian Vettel, was his fourth podium in seven races and he lies fourth in the championship standings.
Webber will be at the venue of next season's British GP, Donington Park, at the weekend to watch the World Superbike round.
"I've ridden bikes for longer than I've raced cars, so I'm really looking forward to it," he said.

Hi Mark. Wish you well and a fast recovery. Tony M. Macau
ladyboy hamster is having his bits removed,coz hes sick of having his hamster slapped.
It is great stuff that Webber is driving F1 car after accident last year.. He was so unlucky in the past, so I think he finnaly deserve good car, and lots of wins.
Blame yourself for not getting out there on the track for a clear and good lap it not Kimi fault!
The way i see it mr hamiltons son and button are both British yet button doesnt seem to command or gain the amount of respect that mr hamiltons son used to recieve when all was well. Could Button say is it cause i is White....and paid some Tax before i fled the island that Fed me,,,mr hamiltons son and mr hamiltons Father could not get away quick enough.
mr hamiltons son say he stay with mclaren men for life. that nice for him but what do mclaren men say? you see mclaren is now german owned. the parent company is the mercedes benz which is the german. the engine is the german engine. everything about the team is the german. mr hamiltons son now the swiss gentleman he eat much cheese and sings in the morning at mountains. mr hamiltons father is also now the swiss man. in fact there nothing british about this team at all. even the man who tidy up the garage after the race has moved to switzerland with his mother. switzerland is owned by the german. my friends the whole team is GERMAN - and guess what - so is mr glock. now you see why the time stand still for mr glock on the last lap. like he in the time warp. not even the people abducted by the alien lose the amount of time he lost on that last lap. IT IS A DISGRACE!!! ANOTHER CHEATIN YEAR IN 2009 FROUM MCLAREN AND CHEATIN BASHIN MR HAMILTONS SON .....r a hamilton asun the bigger a cheat
A question often asked of me is why don't I write some new posts and not just post the same old Potter, Bernard, Marion and Marnio posts? Its a good question and I suppose the
answer is that I am a sad old woman who has nothing better to do and not only but these posts take me days to write because I am so stupid. When I post them you lot unkindly
thumb them down so I have to keep re-posting them, its all I have left in life.
i must admit after reading some of these posts Touron does have a point.
Why did glok slow down so much in the last lap..
Why was glok driving on the wet side of the track in the last few remaining bends allowing hamilton to take the inside DRY line to victory.
HHHmmmmmm.....seems a little suspicious to me...Can anyone enlighten me as to why Glok lost so much time on the Last Lap it was if he was abducted by the ALIENS
Whats it all about..
Why cant this question be answered especially by mclaren fans and especially by Doughnut Ray $%^&...
Why has the evidence ie..the last lap of the brazilian GB especially the last few corners been removed from You Tube..
Why do Mclaren fans keep running away from this question and the Truth..
people keep saying wait till jeremey clarkson show..all will be revealed...
i mean considering glok was on slick tyres why was he driving right in the wet line of the track on the last few corners..everyone keeps saying they are surprised he finished at all considering the conditions...Various posts state it was like an ice rink...
So why was Glok driving in the WET on SLICKS on the WET LINE NOT/ THE DRY LINE on the last few bends....please tell im waiting and have been all Day and probably will be for a long time yet.
SHUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Jeanette i do sympathise,the husband has ran away and the neighbours are sour faced again,what is left??
Maybe we can try some reverse psychology on potter that might make him think??
Hellooooo,
Austraylians normally ride a good motorcycle..
The Brits are good at argueing and setting up commitees to find out why we are argueing in the first place.
We should start an investigation into the investigation as to why we are going around in circles..
Jensen is still going to win the title,my little bunny rabbits.
