Valentino Rossi has been released from hospital after suffering a training incident in Italy on Thursday.
The team released a statement to confirm that the Italian rider had returned home from the "Ospedale Infermi" in Rimini, after having successfully completed routine diagnostic tests that were scheduled earlier on Friday afternoon.
Overnight the 38-year-old Italian spent a quiet night in Rimini and was visited on Friday morning by the doctors. Valentino explained that he was experiencing less pain both in the chest and in the abdomen, compared to the previous night.
The pain was the result of slight liver and kidney lesions that thankfully did not evolve into further complications.
The Doctor then continued to receive pain relief over the course of the day as he underwent further routine diagnostic tests and there were no further issues so he was released from hospital.
“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,” the statement read.
“Yamaha would like to thank the entire staff of the "Ospedale Infermi" for their dedication and professional care over the last 24 hours.”
