Being a professional rider and a former World Champion isn’t always winning, podiums, and fantastic racing and adoring fans as Ducati’s Nicky Hayden well knows. Sometimes it’s hurting, injuries, surgery, stitches and getting back in shape again as fast as you can.

Hayden finally had his stitches taken out after a clean up procedure following arm pump surgeryand announced it on his Twitter page with “Stiches just out back in the saddle for Malaysia2 test in T-4 days….. Yeay buddy!!! and posted this pic to go with it.

Jorge Lorenzo also had his stitches removed after his motorcross accident and he too announced it via Twitter the other day with a “Prueba superada, ya me han quitado los puntos de la mano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ” (passed test, they’ve removed the stitches from my hand).

What can we say except, get well soon guys and could you teach us your secrets in healing so fast?

You’re probably thinking this is another one of those Valentino Rossi fans that stickers everything he owns with Rossi’s number, well you’re both right and wrong. This pimped out lawn mower belongs to Alex Briggs, one of Rossi’s Aussie mechanics in the Fiat Yamaha team.

After seeing this, do you think that Rossi is going to even ponder the idea of switching to Ducati in 2011 without all of his loyal crew members?

After Yamaha PR appearances in Thailand and Indonesia, and spending a hard earned week’s vacation on the fantastic island of Bali with close friend and future Moto2 rider Ricky Cardùs, Jorge Lorenzo was back in action today in Florence, posing for the Barracuda 2010 calendar.

Lorenzo is a great twitterer and keeps his fans always up-to-date on what he’s doing and by the looks of this pic from the photoshoot and posted on his Twitter page, he’s pretty buff and tanned and thoroughly enjoying himself.

Barracuda is Italian company founded in 2002 and makes motorcycle clothing and accessories and you can see a Barracuda commercial with Jorge Lorenzo and the backstage of last year’s calendar (without Lorenzo) after the jump.

Jorge Lorenzo underwent surgery yesterday afternoon to remove a metal plate from his left collarbone, that he’s had since 2005.

The Spanish rider who uses Twitter to communicate with his numerous fans from around the world, kept everyone up to date on his overnight stay in the hospital, even stating that the food wasn’t great (no matter in what country you’re in, hospital food never changes) and that he was woken up early this morning by a crying child in the room next to his.

Lorenzo writes and answers in English, so if you want to head over to lorenzo99 and say hi and wish him a speedy recovery, we’re sure he’ll appreciate it.
