Mental Moto3. Again. Three abreast into Chapel and first to, what's that, fourteenth or fifteenth on the same piece of asphalt. Brilliant.

pity it ended the way it did.

Rossi still first. Dovi passed Vinales

 

[faniebraai]

And now marques passed vinales

 

[Agent_Smith]

Damn, I'll bet we're missing some cracking racing. Prediction: Rossi to still be leading, Dovi up to 2nd with Vinales back to 3rd and Crutchlow has passed Marquez for 4th

Edit: Nvm, I wasn't far off it seems

 

[kfc4unme]

Marc crash?

 

[faniebraai]

marques down? woohoo!

 

[greg0205]

OMG! That is not good at all, especially at his age.

When Carl Fogarty suffered serious injuries at 35 he had to retire.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Ah crap! Not what I want to see the first thing on a Friday morning.

And then their were three...

That is a career ending injury if he broke those two bones unfortunately not just 2017

 

[pinball wizard]

I didn't think career ending injury when I heard this morning. I did think he'll consider retirement seriously now.

Yamaha rule out replacing Rossi


Yamaha have ruled out replacing injured Italian Valentino Rossi at this weekend's San Marino Grand Prix at Misano.

The MotoGP team said in a statement on Monday that Spaniard Maverick Vinales would be their sole rider at the eastern Italian track.

Rossi, whose title hopes are effectively over, had surgery on his broken right leg last week and left hospital on Saturday.

Doctors have said the Italian, fourth in the overall standings and 26 points behind leading compatriot Andrea Dovizioso, will need 30-40 days' rest.

Six MotoGP races remain and the Italian looks set to miss the next one after Misano, at Spain's Aragon circuit on September 24, as well although he has vowed to return as soon as possible.

In 2010, Rossi broke his right leg in practice for the Italian Grand Prix and took six weeks to return.
