Rea's mangled finger will need extensive surgery

LOOK AWAY now if you've not got a stomach for the gruesome side of life, as Visordown have been sent an exclusive picture of Johnny Rea's mangled right ring finger.

The Ten Kate Hanspree Honda star highsided his machine while competing in today's Supersport race at Losail circuit in Qatar. The accident also took down Andrew Pitt, as both riders became entangled with their machines.

Sources say the Irishman is in consultation with circuit doctors and specialists who are trying to save the mangled finger.

Nasty, but it will heal quickly and soon be as good as new.
