I am really surprised about this. I had about 2 months of immobilisation (arguably the bones was broken in 5 places and very low down to the elbow), let alone the physio afterwards. The biggest problem, still 20 years later, is the loss of movement in the shoulder due to immobilisation. Even with a top medical team, I cannot help thinking that being back in 2.5 weeks is pushing it a bit.
My wife’s friend broke hers, same place, in March. She is still off sick and it still hasn’t healed. And no sign of an op. She’ll be off until next year. Marquez gets it, back in weeks. I’ll send her boss the link
Rins is going to try and ride on Friday and whilst I admire his grit and determination I hope the medical team stop him. A week since his crash is simply not enough time to be anything like fit enough to ride a MotoGP bike. He’ll be a danger to himself and others. https://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/motogp-jerez-2-rins-to-attempt-friday-practice
re the couple of the negative comments about rossi on here and the many ive seen elsewhere, wtf? yes he struggles to ma.e the top ten at times but he is still faster than over half the field always. a field of probably the best talent ever seen. people saying he cant move on and adapt are on drugs. bar a few riders that have missed opportunities and been forced into other classes (scott redding springs to mind) pretty much every one in the gp is in the top .00000001 percent of riders on the planet (thats probably not an exact figure but yoal get my drift). he is moving over to ma.e way for the li.es of quat but why should he leave when he can still school most of the field? yes he may have had a hand in his victories with the sunday tires an stuff but he still has a talent that very few will ever ever have and still loves his craft.
Thought he had 'mechanical' issues, TBH the Rossi roadshow has long past it's best. I'd like to have seen him retire whilst still competitive.
I've been a fan for years, been to mugello to watch him etc. But think he should stop at the end of this year. Will he finish the season last placed Yam?
Some interesting thoughts on the whole MotoGP thing https://www.gpone.com/en/blog/paolo...e-eyes-of-marquez-on-a-diminished-value-world
bullshit is what that is, don't give it the clicks.... Diminished is situations like Indy in F1 when a tyre manufacturer failed and basically half the grid couldn't compete, not when a rider makes errors and crashes himself and ruins his chances... aI hate the sensationalist media, does my head in
