Fiat Yamaha has released the following update on Valentino Rossi:At 1530 CET today Valentino Rossi was released from the Centro Traumatologico Ortopedico in Florence, Italy, where he has been recovering following surgery last Saturday to mend his broken right leg.
He was taken by ambulance to a helicopter and is now being flown to a hospital in Cattolica, close to his home, where he will meet with doctors to discuss the next stage of his recovery.
More information and details about his condition will be sent later today.
The hospital in Cattolica is just 10 km from Tavullia and is closer to Ravenna where Rossi may undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy – HBOT, to speed up recovery.
The Ravenna hospital is also where Mick Doohan was taken to save his leg from amputation after his 1992 crash.
