Rossi had a big crash in first practice. He was taken to the hopital with fractures to the wrist and respiratory contusions. However, he went back to the track to participate in second practice. I wonder if he will really participate in the race though.

Alex Hoffman has replaced Gibernau at Ducati. Gibernau will be for a month due to that horrific crash last race.

 

Crazy,......... x243

 

Yeah...Rossi's crash was pretty spectacular. Normally I'd have been watching it live, but had a sales meeting this morning. He vows to race this weekend if the wrist allows him. He's having more issues with the wrist than the ankle, as it's his throttle hand. It wouldn't surprise if he not only rides, but wins. Fuckers amazing.

 

Absolutely incredible race today in Assen. Rossi starts from last and earns some point with an 8th place finish. The story of the race was the last 2 laps, between Nicky and Edwards, a must see race on Speed tomorrow. 1. Nicky 2. Nakano 3. Pedroza 4. Stoner 5. KRJR.

 

It was an intense finish.

 

What an incredible finish.
Hayden gets a 40+ point lead on second place.
