WOW,
Quinn Cody, from his FB page:

"I truly never expected to be writing this statement under these circumstances, on my couch, with a broken leg that is. But let's face it, things don't always go the way we plan in life, in fact, sometimes they continue to take us away from our planed course. Some of you may have heard rumors about me signing with a new team for next year, so I thought it would best to set the record straight. So here are the facts:

I have signed with the Monster Energy Husqvarna Rally Team by Speedbrain to race Dakar and the FIM World Championship Rally Series for 2013-2014, unfortunately after my recent injury, I will be unable to compete in Dakar 2013, but plan to be fit and ready for the first round of the World Championship Rally Series in April and of course ready to tackle Dakar 2014. I was completely devastated after learning that I would not be ready for the upcoming Dakar and felt awful that I had let my new team down before I had officially been announced as their new rider. Speedbrain, Husqvarna and BMW have put forth great effort to develop the Husqvarna TE449RR into an incredible rally machine and have exceeded all of my expectations at every step of the process. I am honored to have been given the opportunity to race for this great team and will do everything in my power to make this a successful relationship.

It has been a dream of mine for years now to do a full season of rally racing and try to master the art of road book navigation so that I can go into Dakar fully prepared with a year of real racing experience under my belt. This opportunity is the best platform for me to become a true rally racer and achieve my dream of a podium finish at Dakar. I have been racing in Baja for the past 10 years and it has formed me into the person I am today. Baja has been great to me, given me opportunities to race all over the world with some incredible teams and has introduced me to most of my best friends. But after 10 years, I have found myself eager for new challenges and have found new motivation in the Dakar. Just like Baja, Dakar is something that you can't explain, It is something that infects you, it is something so grueling and painful that gets in your blood and keeps pulling you back for more. The Dakar is the largest, most challenging motor sport event on the planet and is the obvious top tier in off-road racing. Moving forward, I am excited to be able to compete with such a high level team on the best equipment available.

Along with the World Championship Rally Series, I will also be competing in selected events for Husqvarna in the U.S. and possibly even get our feet wet with some racing in Baja. I am looking forward to 2013 and hope that I heal fast so I can prove myself to my new team. Thanks to all my sponsors for sticking by me through all the injuries I will overcome all of it and come back stronger and smarter.

Thanks,
QC"

.By Jay Busbee | From The Marbles

Those of you who think NASCAR is fixed might want a look at what a real attempt to rig a race looks like. And it looks a whole lot like a kid faking injury to get his brother in trouble.

Our scene: Brazil, the Rio Grande do Sul State Moto Grand Prix. Now, this is from a few weeks back, but it's new to us and possibly new to you, too. Our driver is Marlinton dos Reis Teixeira, who goes by the nom de plume "Kalunga." He skidded on a rainy track — dubious decision to race in that mess, to begin with — and couldn't get it restarted. So what does he do? In the greatest European soccer tradition, he flops. Right in the middle of a race track.

Kalunga's idea apparently was to get the race halted, giving him time to get his bike restarted. It didn't exactly go as he'd planned; as you can see, both other riders and a medical crew take him very seriously. Once Kalunga checked out fine, well, he was banned from the Grand Prix.

And we have this priceless comedy gem.
