In Rossi`s defence, due to his good luck he`s never really had to race in this condition, has he? He`s not used to it. Besides, if it had happened to any other type of sportsman theres no way theyd be competing after that. He`s still pretty tough if you ask me, just cuz he aint the toughest of all.... hat`s off to the Marco of Steel

Yeah Marco rode several times previously with injuries on him........i guess he's really made of steel.

i will tell you this too,unless rossi has quick healing bones,he will be struggling this coming sunday too,so it could'nt of happend at worse time with these back to back races. !
If he can qualify well, as in up to about the 3rd or 4th row, I think he can do it. Once the race starts, his injury dosen`t hold him back. His problem right now is putting down fast laps when he`s not chasing someone.
He's done very well because the pressure of 4G pushing on your arms must be horrific and extremely painfull, even if he did take painkiller injections.

This reminds me of Sete. Totally the opposite of Rossi.

yes one of worst injury for a rider has to be his wrist,espeicially your throttle one,rossi likes Donni, and it is a good track for him,but qualifing on saturday will start to give the clues to his fitness.

I'm not so sure. I think his perfomance at the Dutch TT surprised everyone after a pretty dismal set of practice sessions. Like I said, he needs to qualify in the top half then let the adrenalin take over. And WHEN it rains, just do that "perfect riding" trick of his and pass all the mistake makers. Providing he dosen`t become one himself, like he did last year. That`s his best shot at a win at Donny.

Exactly. The adrenalin of the race helps Rossi, and the "boredom" of practice sessions is getting to him, with his painful wrist. Sete on the other hand, I think prefers the "do your own thing, at your own pace" qualifying to the pressure of the race.
