Le latest official press release from the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team announces that a decision will be made on Wednesday evening regarding Valentino Rossi's trip to Aragon.

Why Wednesday evening and not Monday evening, at the end of the Italian driver's test session on the Misano circuit?

First of all because the ride, interrupted by the rain, was not long enough to be able to get an idea of ​​the progress of the Yamaha rider's convalescence.
So probably to still give a chance to a possible additional attempt at driving on the Italian circuit, despite very pessimistic weather forecasts.

This is also what indicates Graziano Rossi in the Italian columns of the site motorsport. com : Valentino Rossi will be in Misano again today, ready to ride at the slightest clearing!

Graziano Rossi : « Vale only completed seven or eight laps on the Misano track before it started to rain. They told me that he felt a lot of pain in his right leg, but that he could not understand in so few laps whether he could advance his return to MotoGP in Aragon or not.

The test was scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday), but the weather forecast said it was going to rain, and that's why the program scheduled for Tuesday was brought forward to today (Monday).
The idea is to return to Misano Adriatico tomorrow (Tuesday), hoping that there will be a time when the rain stops and Valentino can get back on track to see if it is possible to risk a trip to Aragon or No. »

Given the precision of the official press release which clearly announces a decision on Wednesday evening, we can even assume that Wednesday could be the day of the last chance...
