I agree that Rossi was likely affected by that gruesome compound tibial fracture, although that ended up healing without complication and he won a race after his return later the same year, and Jorge was never the same in the rain after the second clavicle fracture. I myself see MM’s shoulder problems as more likely to be career limiting. | |

When he arrived on the scene, it was suggested that he needed to rein in that behavior, race for points, etc. He managed to do it.....for a little while. Soon he was back to the old, original MM, where he has stayed. I think it is the chink in his armour, this inability to dial back a little. I can’t see how it won’t catch up with him. I enjoy watching him do this stuff as much as anyone. It comes back to the fact that the real greats in general do not crash that much. I will admit that he is a real great in spite of the crashing, for sure he is a special talent. Entropy is a universal law. | |

My point was that I don’t think the current injury is the one that will stop him, and nor do I think it will make him lose his edge. If it makes him ride a little more circumspectly and settle for position as he has done in the occasional past season when appropriate it would actually advantage him, but like you I wouldn’t count on this happening. | |

MM already won the championship with a shoulder that dislocated after a hug. How I have no idea, will it be a factor long term? Not really all the riders are suffering from one thing or another the difference is whether they have the skill, talent, determination to overcome it.
