Another off-road injury for Valentino Rossi, this time while riding an enduro bike. The Doctor was doing some off-road training with the other VR46 Riders Academy riders, when he crashed, hitting his leg hard. He has been taken to hospital in Urbino for further tests as he has a suspected fracture to his right tibia and fibula, the same leg he injured at Mugello in 2010.

The accident comes just a few days before the Misano GP, as happened back in May when he injured himself while riding his MX bike just before Mugello.

Updates to follow.
