He's fine. Couple of hair line fractures and a hemotoma (sp). He will probably return tomorrow or he'll take a day off and rest.

[aff-man]

man It's been a bad coupleof weeks for the motoGP boys.

[Kornholio]

Damn..he'll bounce back tho :D

[boomer]

Hayden World Champ by attrition.


I love Rossi as much as the next motamacycle fanatic but to say Haydens won teh title by attritions a tad harsh.. u mean hes won teh title by consistantly finishing and consistantly get podium finish's

[Bartman10]

Yeah just read that.

I hope he's ok becasue I'm going to Assen tomorrow and Saturday to watch the GP.

Would be dissapointed if he's not there.

Cheers

Totaly opposite to how I feel about these things - I rate a rider,or driver,who wins a championship without winning a race,by consistantly putting himself on the podium every race,or as much as he can.As opposed to some flash in the pan crash artist who manages to string enough wins amid the mistakes.But when all the opposition is taken away by breakdowns or crashes it a bit hollow.I rate Hayden very highly (just because he's a flattracker y'know) and of all the riders on the grid,he's the one I want to come 2nd.....or with luck WIN!

[slob]

Maybe he just wanted to even things up for the boys who got injured in the last race? Y'know, to make it more of a challenge?

[White trash]

THIS is Hoppers race........ I know it.

Now where have I heard that before?

[Korea]

Good to see Nakano getting somewhere. He needs some good news:
Black flagged at Catalunya. Ride through penalty before that... poor fella.

As for Rossi:
Big off in the morning.
A visit to the hospital before lunch confirms hairline cracks to wrist and ankle.
He's back on the bike in the afternoon to put in some fast laps.
That's why he rocks.

Of course if it was me...




I'd be crying for my mummy...

I bet he's a bit sore today too...here's hoping.

[sAsLEX]

Watch Faster and hear what the Moto Gp doctor does to get them back out there, he pionerred some stuff to get them racing , like * insert name here* had the other leg sown to his busted one to help support it and provide blood etc!

And the amount of taitanium these guys have in them puts my 4 plates to shame!

[BarBender]

Go Vale Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sparky Bills]

GO DUCATI!!!:first:




but hope Rossi heals up fast

[UrbanMyth]

FP2 was great rock on! edwards he never gets attention with his team mate as Rossi himself.

[UrbanMyth]

eep! actually i just watched the crash video again.Dam the back of my head hurt while i watched it poor guy

[onearmedbandit]

Crash was on TV3, didn't see how he lost it going into a left hander but he certainly did tumble around like a rag doll.

He needs to get lessons from Sete on how to crash properly. Now there is a man who knows what he is doing, watch last weeks race and you'll see him instinctively tuck in, reducing harm to himself. Sadly it didn't stop him from doing harm to Capirossi and Melandri, but he did have to up his crash technique. And once again hats off to him, first lap, not even the first corner and he takes not only himself out in spectacular fashion but a number of other riders.

A true professional.

[Colapop]

Yeah I saw that briefly and wondered WTF happened. Sure looked messy...

[Dafe]

Found it!! Prime at 1.05 am on sunday morning.

[onearmedbandit]

Not tonight (http://www.primetv.co.nz/home.asp) Dafe, but tomorrow (http://www.primetv.co.nz/whatson.asp?dayID=1) night (Sunday morning).

Just noticed Capirossi and Melandri are back, but no Sete. Have the other riders taken a vote?

Look at Rossi showboating, lulling them all in to a false sense of security. Oh my that boy is wise....

[Korea]

You see, last year Rossi was about a million points ahead of everybody else - made for some boring watching (trying to guess who would come second to Rossi). So the MotoGP people asked him to give the rest of the riders a fighting chance this year. Such a gentleman that Rossi ~ but he's going to clean up in the next 9 races, no doubt.
