Valentino Rossi therefore decided : he will go to Aragon, 22 days after an enduro accident which left him with a broken leg. He tested himself with an R1 at Misano, he had a medical examination, and all these steps convinced him that the San Marino Grand Prix would be his only withdrawal of the year. Finally, you will have to go to the starting grid on Sunday. Because, within the Yamaha team itself, we warn that it will not be easy.
Wool Agostini has already said it: going to Aragon to do test sessions without going to the race, it makes no sense. This is the road map drawn up for the Doctor who only took up the first of his two challenges facing the Aragon deadline: deciding to go after having tested himself, that happened. Now we'll have to hold on until Sunday evening...
Yamaha supports its rider, but still confirmed the summons of van der mark who was to replace him during this fourteenth of the eighteen rounds registered in the championship. Massimo Meregalli explain : " above all, the whole team is preparing to enthusiastically welcome Valentino. What's more because this Grand Prix will have something special since it is supported by our title announcer ».
« We will see if Valentino will be able to compete the entire weekend. It will be tough, and especially in Aragon which is a hilly and physically demanding route. If Valentino suffers too much, if he hurts too much, then Van der Mark will take his place ».
Aragón is one of the rare tracks where Valentino Rossi never stood out with Austin and the Red Bull Ring. It is also one of five circuits operated in a counter-clockwise direction with Austin, Sachsenring, Phillip Island and Valencia.
