MotoGP great Rossi still in pain ahead of Italian GP

ITALIAN MotoGP great Valentino Rossi, who was injured in a motocross accident last week, is still in pain and will have to pass a medical today before he can compete at his home race at Mugello this weekend.

The 38-year-old said in a Yamaha team statement yesterday that “the pain in the abdomen and in the chest is still severe”. “Fortunately, my condition is improving day by day and this allows me to think a bit more positively about the Mugello weekend,” added the Italian, who spent a night in hospital after the fall in eastern Italy. Rossi, a nine-time world champion across all categories, said he was doing all he could to be ready in time. Rossi is third in the championship, 23 points behind his Spanish teammate and overall leader Maverick Vinales after five MotoGP races.
