Lorenzo lost the rear in morning practise and fractured his ankle after being launched off his Yamaha.

That was a huge get off - major superman with front flip. Glad to see he only chipped his ankle bone. The look on Rossi's face was epic, too! I hope he can still ride this weekend....

Ron: can you imagine what the look on Pedrosa's face was?

Longerfellow · 05-02-2008, 10:13 AM

Glad it wasn't a kneecap-

jasonsmith · 05-02-2008, 10:45 AM

Wow! A fairly decent landing, that could have really sucked. Some glue and steroids and we'll see him in the race.

Watch for the suspension compress, WOW!!!!! I know they said it, but WOW!!!

I just cannot quite figure out what went wrong there. Ouch!

NeverlosT · 05-02-2008, 02:05 PM

wow. that was a hard get-off. It is good to see that the other riders (rossi) are concerned and shocked. that is somethin else. I hope he gets back on there quickly, lets hear it for protective gear!!!!

NorcalBoy · 05-02-2008, 04:55 PM

his own crew chief was quoted as saying it could be chalked up to overconfidence......no shit.....Type A personalities make good racers. I still want to see the guy race this weekend.....after all he is tied for the points lead and was making it interesting week in and week out. He was also very motivational for his teammate........

jasonsmith · 05-02-2008, 05:27 PM

He better race or I'm going down in flames....

NorcalBoy · 05-02-2008, 06:54 PM
