Wow.  If he's back on July 18, that'd be amazing.  It'd be sad to see Rossi outside of the top 10 though.  I can't imagine him coming back and blitzing the field.  Actually, I can (just he's superhuman), but it's not very likely.

"A new crash would be a problem. But the pin inserted is very big and the screws can break only for a manufacturing defect."

so, what you're saying is, if he crashes the leg will shatter but the hardware will be a-ok.

He needs to focus on signing with Ducati, not on returning this season.

Does that count toward the engine limit? Grin

It's one of Rossi's 6 engines.  I assume they gave him the most tired, broke-ass one.

Wishful thinking on the part of Ezpeleta? Vale's gotta do what's right for his health.

wishful thinking? it sounds like he's just revealing what rossi's camp has told him.
