Hmm. My recollection is that the blow was in the race, not
qualifying. And therefore he didn't race the next day, either.

Don't have the stomach for it myself. If Rossi falls on the right
(wrong) leg it is sure to re-break, I don't quite understand what
makes these guys risk permanent health problems for a weekend buzz.
Its not like I've never raced but I've never broken any bones and when
I came close to breaking my leg at a local race track I packed it in
for the rest of the season! a voice inside me said "That fu**ing hurt,
I'm going to think long and hard about why exactly I should work up to
National racing and I'll take more than a year to do it"... some
role model eh?

That was amazing, and under-reported indeed.

I seem to recall Puig suffered a brain injury?

Other notable injured riders: Pat Hennen (70s). Barry Sheene (did he
ever race without an injury?).
