According to MGP archives Rossi has never won a race that he crashed in in any class that he has raced in. He once crashed at Brno and came back to finish in fifth. After considerable checking it looks like only Scott Russell has crashed at a major modern road race (not counting endurance series) and came back from last to win. There are a number of records that indicate riders crashing and finishing well, Bayliss was noted in a rain race at Silverstone, Schwantz in the rain at Suzuka. I have video / dvd of or was at nearly every race in the 90's and beyond and I don't remember that ever happening. I saw Russell crash at Daytona and do it, that was awesome. Rossi was once gridded next to last with Biaggi at Losail and went on to win the event, but that was when he was dominating the rest of the field .  According to records availible to normal folks there is no evidence that Rossi ever did what you say he did. It didn't happen.
