WorldSBK has made its decision on Alvaro Bautista’s pa💝rticipation in this weekend’s Italian 𒀰Round at Cremona.
Alvaro Bautista has b🌳een declared fit for this weekend’s WorldSBK Italian Round at Cremo𝔍na.
The Spanish rider broke the eighth rib in his lℱeft ribcage in a Supeprole Rac😼e crash at the French Round two weeks ago, ruling him out of action in Race 2 at Magny-Cours.
Ahead of the Italian Roꩵund this weekend, the reigning champion was assessed by the Wor🐼ldSBK medical director, Monica Lazzarotti, and declared fit ahead of FP1.
“I’m fit for FP1,” Bautista said after receiving the news of the decision. “After that, we’ll have꧒ to see. I ha🎃ve to check my condition and how I can ride the bike. I can start in FP1 – good news.”
After FP1, Bautista’s⛦ condition will be reviewed again to assess whether he🐎 will be able to continue his participation at the Italian Round from FP2 onwards.
Bautista enters the Italian round this weekend 122 points behind Toprak Razgatlioglu — who is not competing this weekend as he continues to recover from the collapsed lung suffered in FP2 at 🧔Magny-Cours — in the riders’ standings, and 67 points behind his rookie teammate, Nicolo Bulega.
