It is a stupid game, and I wonder why I bother any more when my body is constantly telling me to quit!
I can't remember a time when I felt 110% physically sound in the last 10 years...even now I'm getting over a really badly turned ankle, that even the radiologist was amazed wasn't broken.
I must have missed months of riding time due to niggling injuries that just make riding a 748/9** to uncomfortable for any amount of time.
So my conclusion...try to get fit for a cup final in 3 weeks
