 The 35-year-old Yamaha rider, nine-times a world champion in all
categories, was taken to hospital after falling heavily early in
Sunday's race at the Motorland Aragon circuit won by Spaniard Jorge
Lorenzo.
Rossi tweeted a picture of himself saying he was fine apart from the
"head ache".
"Valentino is progressing very well. In Alcaniz the CT scan was
negative and although the local doctor wanted to keep him at the
hospital overnight, Valentino discharged himself," MotoGP medical
director Michele Zasa said in a statement issued by his Yamaha team.
"Now he's in his motorhome relaxing, and in any case the Clinica
Mobile is keeping him under observation for the whole night.
 "From a neurological point of view he has fully recovered and at the
moment he's fine so we'll keep on taking care of him overnight and
hopefully by tomorrow morning everything is going to be ok."
