LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING BACK
Latest Word From Rossi

"I'm really excited that my doctors think I can ride this weekend. Tomorrow I will see the medical officer and then we will have the final decision. I felt good on the R1 but I know my M1 at the track is a different thing and it will be hard for me, but I miss my bike and my team and I want to try. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and being back in the paddock; I was tired of being at home! Wataru will be there as well so if there is a problem he will ride my bike again."

Yeah baby, interest restored in MOTOGP.

Go the Doctor.

Even if he finishes it will be bloody impressive.

I suspect he'll go well in the beginning, maybe run in the top five somewhere but come the latter part of the race he'll tail off somewhat. Just imagine if he podiumed first race back, he'd be granted hero status world wide even among the haters and Italy would erupt!
