I`ve wondered a little about Vale this year.....
Latest injury/crash could be totally unconnected of course, but having been struggling with a shoulder injury, has he changed his riding style to compensate?
That said, Rossi is usually very good at hiding discomfort from both fellow riders and the public, but, (and although he always did this to a degree) he seems more and more to be lowering his right leg in particular from the peg, pretty much on to the floor in sweeping corners, almost as if to stretch his body and ease the pain and tension in the shoulder.
Unfortunately, it is a break from the action he can ill afford given his championship standing, but, long term, assuming it is a clean break to his shin, that shouldn`t be a problem, but the rest and recuperation to the shoulder problem, long term, could be a Godsend.
