Why 2011 could be a tough year for Rossi
Valentino Rossi is gearing up for his first season at Ducati. But still carrying the after effects of last year's shoulder injury, will he be the same old Rossi? Toby Moody investigates
It seems as though the stars might be aligning for the dream team that is Valentino Rossi aboard a Ducati for the next two seasons in MotoGP.
The furthest star away is actually Valentino himself, or his shoulder to be more precise. It's in a mess after falling off a motocross bike in late April 2010 and only having the operation to fix it in early November, by which time it was in even more of a mess with tendons having shortened, some maybe becoming permanently damaged.
