Rossi to ride in Misano

From Yamaha Racing

Valentino Rossi was due to ride a Yamaha YZF-R1 at a private test in Misano, Italy Wednesday afternoon.

The Italian has made an excellent recovery so far since breaking his leg at Mugello on June 5 and he decided to proceed with the test ride in order to better understand his current physical condition. Riding a racing motorcycle will help Rossi and his doctors to plan the next stage of his rehabilitation programme in order that he may return to racing as soon as he feels confident to do so.

The test was to take place using a YZF-R1 WSB machine provided by the Yamaha World Superbike Team to the Fiat Yamaha Team.
