Medical checks confirmed that the Italian rider can take part in the next round of the championship.

The article is dated 19.06.
From what i've understand Loris is back to Monte Carlo..at home preparing for Assen..
Marco is ok and the result of the scans were negatives - no broken bones... but it has badly injuries at his shoulder and neck and the decision will be taken in the eve of the assen test.

We'll just have to wait and see. We still don't know if Melandri can race or not.
As for Loris..as he says:"I'm not yet 100% fit but the important thing is to get back on the bike as soon as possible and see how it goes: I'm going to Assen with even more fighting spirit than usual!"
He's not entirely fit but he'll be up there racing. We'll get some impresions after the practice sessions.
 
It`s great to see him back on the bike. He`s a hard ......., that Capirossi. And hard .......s on racing motorcycles have done some pretty impressive things while carrying serious injury in the past. we`ll just have to wait and see I guess. What I`m really worried about is if he falls off again. Even a minor lowside could do him some serious damage in his current state.

I doubt he'll do anything spectacular.

Remember last year after the phillip island crash he took it easy in the last round.
