Although I'm also one of Rossi's biggest fan, I agree with what richo said. Hairline fractures, and hematoma are nothing to what marco suffered. The broken collarbone alone would make it a bit hard breathing.

I didn`t mean to take anything away from Rossi at all, like I said he rode a brilliant race, better than Marco, but the way Marco got the results he did in his condition reminded me of stories of legends like Doohan, wich is why he impressed me so much

I agree with you guys, but keep in mind that to have a hairline fracture in your right hand.....throttle and brake, plus on a weight transfer point is pretty tough too...I remember from my racing days just riding with a sprain was pretty tough.....

its hard to breathe, any sudden bump is agony, restricted movement in arm, limited movement in lower arm and hand ... and p-a-i-n. those drugs must be good.

Bottom line is, Rossi is tough, but Marco`s tougher!

His quote was "I'm still getting pain from my chest at some points of the track where I have to make certain movements. But otherwise I can almost ride normally."

That would just probably be from the trauma on his muscles, but I think nothing still serious at this point.

Yeah. If there are still fractures, that would hurt A LOT, and he wouldn't be able to move much, but as we can all see, moving is not much a problem, so muscle trauma would be the best candidate.
