Interwetten Honda MotoGP rider Hiroshi Aoyama, who fractured his 12th vertebra in a vicious highside during warm-up session at Silverstone will be taking part in the upcoming Brno test to evaluate his fitness and will decide his official return to racing based on the outcome of Monday’s test.
“I feel very well and I am happy with the improvements of my injury in the last couple of weeks,” said the 250cc World Champion and MotoGP rookie.
“Yesterday my doctors did another X-Ray and the healing process of the broken bone is really good.
I can move my arms and legs like before the crash.
I just need to be careful with my back.
I started training a couple of weeks ago and do cycling, swimming and go to the gym.
It is improving step by step and I am almost back to normal again.
I can’t wait to be back on my bike.
If you have to watch all these races on TV, it is depressing and I want to come back as soon as possible.
But when I will ride my bike again in a grand prix I will decide after the test on Monday.
”Alex de Angelis, who was called in to replace the injured Aoyama and expected to stay with the Interwetten team for both the Brno and Indianapolis rounds, however if Aoyama’s fitness test should result positive, the Sammarinese may not be able to return to his Moto2 RSM Team Scot due to the economic problems that the team is still facing and because it seems that Gordini (Renault) one of the team’s sponsors has pulled out, leaving Cirano Mularoni even further in the lurch.
