out for the season now? or should i follow his mechanics advice and not believe what i hear (in this case, read)?
Some time ago I posted a few videos on YouTube.
Never had any intention of violating anyone's copyright, just a few old clips from years gone by that I'd kept on DVD because I liked them so much (one was Edwards saving it on his knee at Jerez a few years back, another an awesome last couple of laps at Sachsenring featuring Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa and Melandri having a proper set-to. There were a couple of others, can't remember what).
Dorna flagged them to YouTube as copyright violations, and YouTube closed my account down. No ifs, no buts, just closed down.
As far as I'm concerned, YouTube are no better than Dorna, they don't even give you a chance to put your side of the story.
Personnelly i can't see Rossi sitting out for rest of the season. Normally with out any complication this kind of fracture takes any thing between 6 to 8 weeks to heal, to be honest with you i think he will be back at brno which will give him roughly 10 weeks to recover and there will be still 9 races to go including Brno.
dude it's a buissness.... get over it.... if they don't make $ there is no show.
Dude...I know it is a business. do you have any other revelations?
so they did their job to protect what was thiers??? And took action against someone who broke the rules of owning the DVD or MotoGP pass.....why would they care about your side of the story??
I think it sucks, but that is how the rules are on copyrighted stuff.....be glad it is not worth their time or money to take you to court.
dude it's a buissness.... get over it.... if they don't make $ there is no show.
I think you got it wrong. it is not dorna that makes the show. it is riders like Rossi, Spies, that make the show. at least for me. The only reason I still will pay speed tv who pays dorna is Spies now that Rossi's gone.
dorna is just playing a role of a greedy janitor/manager -that is my understanding of that business, I think they are greedy for a bigger part of that show's income than they are entitled to. That's is my opinion. I welcome yours.(only if you can come up with something better than "get over it, dude" ).
Very strange to not see vr line up for a race, it has never happened!!!
Nightmare stuff, hopefully he won't suffer complications from infection with that open wound. Something which they won't know too much about until now......
It's not 'if' but 'when' with motorcycles.
Jl looked genuine in his sadness for the loss of his teammate, this has major reprocussions for jls title chase and no matter what if he wins this year now it will be hollow. Alah Doohan and Crivelle, Rainey and Schwantz, Frasier and Ali.
Devastating for the sport, no doubt millions will switch off taking millions of dollars with them. It will be a great chance for motogp to take it's first steps towards a series without their trump card of recent years. Hopefully it won't be processional, very unlikely with the times from practice and qual. Dorna needs some freakishly good racing to get through this.
Makes the silly season now very interesting.........
Great post before Arri

Nicky Hayden has talked about the moment he witnessed Valentino Rossi’s 2010 world title hopes vanish in Mugello today.
The American was in pursuit of the 31-year-old’s Fiat Yamaha in this morning’s final free practice when Rossi was viciously high-sided at the entrance to the left-hand part of the Biondetti chicane.
The 2006 world champion said: “I saw it out of the corner my eye and it looked so quick and so early in the corner. I was on a good lap and I was catching him quite quick and I wasn’t sure if had a problem with the bike.
"At first thought he’d come out of the pits and maybe something was leaking. But it was so quick and early at a place you don’t normally lose the rear. It’s not a fast flick but it has taken a while to get the heat in the left side of the tyre a little bit here. I saw dust out of the corner of my eye.”
The 28-year-old said losing Rossi for the majority of the season was a massive blow for MotoGP.
Rossi had won the opening race of the season in Qatar and trailed series leader and Fiat Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo by nine-points going into his home race in Mugello.
Kentucky rider Hayden said:
“He’s bigger than just the competition, the whole sport just isn’t the same without Rossi. If you do get on the podium tomorrow you’ll be thinking in the back of your head, ‘well if Rossi was here it might not be like that.’ Nobody wants to see a guy in a lot of pain.
"That’s not cool at all and it was clear he was suffering. He can put on a show sometimes and do stuff but nobody wants to see him go through that kind of pain.”
BBC.
Valentino Rossi could be out for up to six months after suffering a compound fracture of his right leg in a crash in practice for Sunday's Italian MotoGP.
The 31-year-old reigning world champion is recovering in hospital after a successful operation on Saturday.
Dr Claudio Costa, head of the Mugello medical centre where Rossi was treated, said he was "awake and smiling".
"The surgeon Dr Roberto Buzzi has talked of four, five, maybe six months recovery," Dr Costa said.
"But as ever the diagnosis after the first few days is always important."
Dr Costa earlier described Rossi's injury - a displaced and exposed fracture of his right tibia - as a "very ugly fracture" while Dr Buzzi later reportedly said it was the worst type of injury he had operated on and expressed doubt that Rossi would return to racing in 2010.

if its 6 months, then he isn't coming back this season. but if he gets better before then he will def come back, even if there are only a race or two left, because he cares so much about that record and knows he needs all the races he can get to get it.
Terrible news for vale. Wish him a speedy recovery, but hope he doesn,t try to come back too soon.
If Yamaha struggles to find a replacement, perhaps they should consider one Troy Bayliss for the ride. I believe he wants to get back on a racing bike.
While I wouldn,t expect him to be near the front, I would be very curious to see how he would go on the Yamaha............. We could then have the Spies/ Bayliss battle we never had.
Please make it happen.

I think Bayliss is comfortably in the hands of Ducati. I doubt he'll defect to another brand to ride in MotoGP. Instead, I would expect either Speez or Edwards to get the call and for someone else, perhaps from Moto2 to be placed on the Tech 3 bike. Fiat will want their machine featured prominently and as such, a current GP rider will be selected I imagine. I would not be surprised to see Elias get called up but since he's in a Championship hunt himself I don't know if he'll give up his M2 championship run. The Rossi replacement saga will be interesting.....my guess is that this will be handled easily and Spies will be on the bike soon.
I dont know if he will want to cut ties with Ducati....but you never know. I think Bayliss would rather do WSBK....MotoGP did not work well with him for some reason.
I think we will see Elias get the ride with a promise of a Tech 3 MotoGP ride next year to compensate him for not being able to fight for the Moto2 championship. I can't see that Spies is allowed to take the factory ride after all he is technically a rookie and beyond that the complications extend to the team as Spies rides with his own pit team so what would they do with Burgess.
This could be the opportunity to relaunch Elias's career. Six months with Burgess as crew chief and I am sure you will see at least 1 win from the little man if he is allowed that is.

why Elias? you have Spies, a rider that Yamaha is very keen to have in MotoGP (seeing as how they moved him up a year earlier) and they have an old hand in Edwards. i would be shocked if they passed over those two to replace Rossi.
This is exactly the problem with a compound fracture, and together with the associated soft tissue injuries the reason why they didn't primarily close the wound, which I thought might be the case before the medical bulletin.
However he has got the best treatment very promptly, and the injury seems to have been contained by his racing leathers and should not have been contaminated, so I would be very hopeful of an eventually full recovery, just not a very rapid one.
I think mick doohan's injury was more complicated in that there were problems with the blood supply to the leg overall, the initial surgery was botched, and that the fracture may have been comminuted. He had built up such a lead earlier in that season that he still had a chance of winning the title if somewhat competitive for the last couple of races on his return; unfortunately he wasn't as I recall, or for the next season. There is no point valentino coming back this year unless and until he is not significantly compromised.
It's happened to me too. This is a terrible terrible policy by Dorna which according to Dr. Krop at Motomatters.com is the result of demands from major networks to whom Dorna sells their product. Apparently they demand this protection.
I find these claims a bit dubious, not that the big TV stations don't demand protection, but as you have noticed. Dorna doesn't take content off of the content match software once it is old and the race has been broadcast. Dorna are clearly snubbing their fans and shunning the free advertising of enthusiasts on youtube b/c Dorna want to protect motogp.com and the classics concept they sell to TV stations. This is a terrible idea that is stunting the growth of a series in retraction (especially now that Rossi is out for a while). If Dorna cannot offer something better than old, grainy 10 minute segments that have been ripped from a fan's decaying VHS collection, Dorna ought not be in business. Their obscene fees at motogp and their refusal to sign a decent TV contract in the states means I have absolutely zero sympathy for them.
In the end, they are a victim of their own success, just like F1. Bridgepoint capital bought the commercial rights from CVC halfway through 2006 when the sport was in it's absolute entertainment prime. Since then the sport has fallen to shambles and I'm sure the people at Bridgepoint are horsewhipping Ezy to block anything and everything that might impair their profits. In Dorna's defense, and unlike the situations in other motorsports, the MSMA have torched the value of MotoGP. For this reason, I give Dorna a pass, but they have still made a major miscalculation in regards to youtube videos.
