Valentino Rossi will spend the night at home. In fact, at around 6 PM he was released from Infermi hospital of Rimini where he had been hospitalized yesterday after a crash while training on a motocross bike.

As mentioned in the medical update this morning, the doctors had given a positive opinion on the rider's recovery and after further examinations in the afternoon, they cleared him to be released from the hospital.

Valentino had fallen yesterday on the Cavallara track landing a jump at around 5:45 PM, suffering abdominal and thoracic trauma, as well as slight injuries to his liver and a kidney. However, no fractures were found and there were no complications either, therefore Valentino was able to return to Tavullia already.

Another official medical update will be released soon and over the coming days there will be a further update on his condition. It seems likely, however, that Rossi will be able to take part in the Italian GP at Mugello, although this has yet to be confirmed.

UPDATE - Here is the official Yamaha's statement.

Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team rider Valentino Rossi has returned home from the "Ospedale Infermi" in Rimini, having successfully completed routine diagnostic tests that were scheduled earlier this afternoon.
 
With the attending doctors confirming the findings shared in this morning‘s medical bulletin, the nine-time World Champion left the hospital at 5.30pm, accompanied by his staff. He will continue the recovery process in his own surroundings.

Yamaha would like to thank the entire staff of the "Ospedale Infermi" for their dedication and professional care over the last 24 hours.
