After testing his fitness on a Yamaha R1 for a number of laps at Misano earlier this week, Valentino Rossi reckons he’s fit enough to prepare for this weekend’s upcoming Aragon GP.
The Italian will need to pass as fit in order to take to the track – but ‘the Doctor’ sounds optimistic, with his sights set on FP1, which he’ll use to further assess his ability to compete on Sunday.
Dutch WorldSBK rider Michael van der Mark will replace the nine-time World Champion if he is unable to compete in the event.

Ross is the editor of MoreBikes (and On2Wheels) - and writes for Motorcycle Sport & Leisure and Classic Bike Guide magazine too. He started off doing laps of his parents’ garden on a Puch 50 scrambler at the tender age of 5, ruining the grass and crashing into bushes. Not much has changed since. He doesn’t discriminate; taking as much pleasure from bombing around town on little mopeds as he does crossing continents on big adventure bikes.
