Q&A on Vale
Q&A with Yamaha Motor Racing managing director Lin Jarvis, team manager Davide Brivio, Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis, Rossi’s surgeon Dr. Buzzi and Yamaha communications manager William Favero.
1. What caused the accident? Was it rider error or a bike/tyre issue?
Davide Brivio, Fiat Yamaha Team Manager, Valentino Rossi’s crew: “Valentino was on his first flying lap with new hard tyres. At ‘Arrabbiata 2′ Valentino slowed down to let another rider pass, because he was following him. When Valentino opened the throttle again at ‘Biondetti’, the first corner on the left, having ridden for about a quarter of the track at a very low speed, the rear tyre had cooled down and lost grip suddenly, causing the crash. When Valentino lost the rear of the bike his speed was approximately 180kph and when he hit the ground it was approximately 150kph.”

The crash Rossi had yesterday during the practice session left him with a broken tibia and fibula of the right leg, he was operated on for around 3 hours and the surgery was a success…the doctors used Spinal Block (epidural) insted of general anesthesia which means that Rossi was awake during the surgery and can see and hear all the cutting and drilling to his leg but without feeling any pain.
The bad news is that he will be out of the track for around 5 month, so today’s race at Mugello will be with out Rossi.
Race start at 2:30pm on Jazeera Sport +3.
