To Valentino Rossi and Tohru Ukawa, this break will be perfect to be able to recover well from his eventful weekend in England. After the initial shock and gravity seemed to take his injuries, finally everything was much less and both are expected to be much better in the German Grand Prix.
Who got the worst part was the Japanese Ukawa, who in his fall at 200 km / h. eventually fractured a metacarpal in his right foot. Aware of what the doctors say, the brave Ukawa expected to be recovered for the GP this weekend will be held at Sachsenring. His teammate Valentino Rossi, on Friday after problems succeeded against all expectations to claim victory on Sunday, also suffered heavy blows to his body a small fracture on the little finger of his left hand, which would suffer little in the Germanic track.
In 250 all will be watching the Repsol riders Fonsi Nieto and Toni Elias for different reasons. On the one hand Fonsi Nieto will have a new opportunity to reduce the differences in the overall Melandri. England second behind the Italian, Fonsi is obliged to continue to work tirelessly if you want to beat him overall. The thirteen points that separate them in the rankings with 200 points in game yet, are not currently an unbridgeable difference.
On the other hand, Toni Elias, which is surprising for the World Cup for its rapid adaptation and competitiveness at the controls of his Aprilia, suck in Germany to another podium as managed in England last weekend, finishing third behind Melandri and Nieto after staging a superb comeback.
In 125 Dani Pedrosa and Joan Olive arrive in Germany with a great progression shown in recent races. Dani Pedrosa was able, only a few days ago, cut four more points in the overall standings leader Manuel Poggiali, remaining second and stalking Gilera rider in the overall standings. Meanwhile, his teammate Joan Olive, sixth at Donington proved last Sunday that his podium in Holland was no coincidence and can be rolled back in the top places. Only a weak start and a few scares in the early stages in its combative group prevented him from contact with the pilots who were shot in head, finishing the race in sixth position. His recent results have allowed the youngster to rise to ninth place in the overall standings.
