Valentino Rossi says "the long
break" after he broke his leg in a motocross accident in August
has "done him good" and he may now help Yamaha teammate Maverick
Vinales try to catch MotoGP leader Marc Marquez.
"I'm quite well; I'm happy because we had an extra week to
recover," he said, revealing that despite a heroic fifth-place
finish on his return in Aragon he had "suffered a bit after that
race".
"My leg was hurting and I needed these days. Now I'm
certainly better", said the nine-time world champ.
Rossi has lost touch with the leaders and said that "though
we haven't received team orders yet, obviously we'll have to see
how things turn out and there may be requests to help my
teammate", who is 16 points behind Marquez.
