Rossi is fit to race
Valentino Rossi fans, Yamaha, and the owners of Donington Park breathed a collective sigh of relief a few moments ago when the Italian was given the all-clear to ride later to today and for the rest of the Assen GP following a hospital check-up this morning.
Rossi crashed heavily in practice for the Dutch GP, and was taken to hospital for check-ups after saying he had chest pains and a sore hand.
BBC Radio 1 eagerly reported that he had broken his wrist, but a Dorna spokesman just revealed that Rossi is OK to ride, just bruised and beat up.
And Capirossi is on his way there also feeling bruised and beaten up. You can't hold a good man down. |
