Valentino Rossi - Fiat Yamaha
Valentino Rossi underwent a second operation on Monday at the Centro Traumatologico Ortopeico hospital in Florence to close the wound following the initial surgery to repair his fractured right tibia.
The Fiat Yamaha rider crashed out during the practice session at Mugello, where he was thrown into the air before landing badly resulting in the break to his leg.
After undergoing surgery the same day the wound was left open until Monday with the doctor involved being pleased following the operations.
There is still no word on who will replace the Italian while he recuperates or how long that recuperation is expected to take. As Rossi’s communications manager has pointed out, Rossi is irreplaceable.
If the Italian news reports are to be believed, Rossi could be out for the rest of the season or at best be back on his seat within 40 days but his bike is expected to be off the grid for at least the next two rounds of the championship as a mark of respect to Rossi.

MotoGP without Rossi is not the same.
Klearpics was looking forward to taking photographs of Rossi at the new Sliverstone track layout.
We will still be there
