Valentino Rossi has suffered a injury in an enduro training accident.
Nine-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi has suffered an injury in an enduro training accident. MotoGP team Movistar Yamaha has also confirmed about Rossi's injury.
Rossi was soon rushed to the Ospedale Civile di Urbino hospital for a medical check-up.
Unfortunately, Rossi was diagnosed with displaced fractures of the tibia and fibula of his right leg. The 38-year Italian rider will undergo a surgery as soon as possible. The training accident took place close to his home town Tavullia when he was riding an enduro motorcycle with his VR46 riders.
The displaced fracture is a serious injury, and it means that Rossi has suffered broken bones in several places. So, a surgery is required to align the bones.
