I could be remembering this all wrong, so if anyone knows please put me straight, but i thought James Toseland said that when he moved from supers to MotoGP that you needed more strength to move a WSB than a MotoGP one so he didn't need to do some much work to bulk up and was concentrating on being leaner. If i have recalled that correctly, maybe his performance on WSB is a worst case scenario....

That could have been the case with Yamaha, in fact I think I recall Spies saying something similiiar....but the Ducati is a different beast alltogether, just from Rossi's comments at Valencia it requires a bit more input thru the bars than the Yammy.

As we have seen with Fogarty's injury (shoulder was it ?)
and after watching a bit about Connor Cummins Arm/Shoulder injury from the TT he might recover physically but looking at his movement in his left Arm/Shoulder
after nerve tendon damage etc I'd say he might ride a bike ok again but he wont "RACE" again
Rossi this has been dragging on a while now IS the injury actually worse than anyone is letting on ?
I've got a feeling Rossi won't be the Rossi we all know any more and the Injury might be career ending

I'd prefer to be a bit more optimistic & hope the damage is not long lasting. I'm quite prepared for him to be a bit behind for a few races, as long as things start showing promise and I'm once more screaming at the TV again.

He said he wants to ride but looking at his Injuries they will heal eventually
the Arm is another problem you can see it he's got no mobility in the arm
and the physio aint going to get him back racing imo
TT Crash
Fractured pelvis
5 vertebrae broke
Arm broke in 4 places & nerve ligament damage means he cant stretch out his hand (claw hand)
his Left Knee major damage after it was shoved up his thigh
broke back
lung damage
it was on the Travel channel
Fta (free to air) on a sky box 251/252 no subscription needed and can be added to a freesat box

Checca gave an interesting interview recently regarding the SBK 1198 -vs- the GP10. He said the GP10 was VERY difficult to turn and that the bike required far more effort to ride than his SBK bike. I think this is a Ducati issue in particular. I suspect the Japanese bikes do not suffer this fate. I'll try to find you a link. I think it was in RoadRacingWorld....not sure

Don't underestimate the power of modern medicine
I'll just spell it out for those who missed it, the power of PR politics.
