| Re: Lorenzo crashed.... Yeah, chipped bone in his left ankle is the only thing that is wrong. They think there is a chance that he could still race. Lorenzo could ride on Saturday despite fractured ankle | The Official MotoGP Website

| Re: Lorenzo crashed.... Ouch...and that is supposed to be one of the slow corners of the circuit. They said he'll be riding tomorrow, so he must be OK. |

I'm with you man. . . I never liked him a whole lot in the 250 class, but it's undeniable, he's a good rider, with a massive amount of determination and heart.
But if anybody asks, I'm still rooting for Nick, Colin or Capirossi!
(And again, a silent cheer for Rossi's quest to regain the #1 plate) |
