his shoulder? he breaks a leg and he has to test his shoulder?
He had a shoulder injury from a motocross incident early during the 2010 season and only got surgery for it during the off-season.

This season has pretty amazing potential. I just hope Dovizioso can get his groove on and steadier performances by Pedrosa, so we can see the HRC bikes giving the Yamahas (and Ducatis?) a proper run for their money.
HRC giving the Yamahas and DUcatis a run for their money!? The Yamahas and definitely the ducati will be trying to chase the HRC team - they have more riders - more testers... they have the overall strongest engine - and now they have someone who can slam out the max of the bike. The real issue with HRC is the riders tend to fall - Pedrosa had an awesome last season in that regard though - while Casey no longer has to deal with a light front end.
this season is gonna be epic... I'm hoping Ben Spies really gets up there. Also if the ducatis of hayden and rossi can be on pace that would be aweSome..

Quite surprised to see Rossi only a second and a bit off the lead, considering his physical state. After day one, he stated that he lost one second in turn 1 and 4, "like Turn 1 and Turn 4; there alone I lose about a second"
