Misadventure and farewell to the MotoGP World Championship for Valentino Rossi. The 9-time champion fell on his motorbike, breaking his tibia and fibula. And we are 10 days from Misano, the San Marino GP, when the race for the World Championship is still formally open, classifications in hand: Dovizioso first with 183 points, the 'Doctor' fourth with 157.
However, the hopes of the most beloved MotoGP champion were wiped out by the bad fall from an enduro motorbike, while he was training in the afternoon with 'his' riders from the Riders Academy, near Urbino. The bad blow to the right leg, the same one injured in 2010 at Mugello, and the rush to the hospital in Urbino, with fears of a double fracture of the tibia and fibula, which later turns out to be a reality. Transfer to Rimini, where he had been treated for the other fall in May.
Valentino will be out for at least 40 days, missing at least two races, Misano and Aragon, with Japan on 15 October still at risk. His season is now compromised.
