Scans have confirmed that there are no fractures for the nine-times World Champion after yesterdays MX crash, however he has suffered light bruising of the kidney and liver, although these pains have eased after last night. 

An official statement from the Movistar Yamaha team say that Rossi is making positive progress, but make no comment as to whether this incident – which has kept the Doctor in hospital for at least 24 hours – will have any impact on whether he will be participating in the Italian Grand Prix in Mugello next weekend.
