Rossi fractures shin at Mugello
 

Rossi has apparently fractured his shin after highsiding during practice and is out of the race.

Now just a walk in the park for Lorenzo?

All I was trying to do was find out if the Beeb was deigning to show the qualifying, and the had NEWS on their website! I was shocked... :D

That's where I had just seen it, in the 'breaking news' banner across the page. +1 on the shock. He was so quick in first practice too, just seen the repeat on Eurosport. Will Rossi be fit for Silverstone, 2 weeks tomorrow, gutted if not! I've been organising tickets for work for the British round for the last 4 years (5th year this one) and yet to see a Rossi victory :(

Eurosport reckon he will be out until at least Brno :(

Kinda stuffed now.

Rossi has been lucky with injuries over his career...

Lorenzo is king this season...maybe
