MotoGP, Doctors give Rins the OK, will try to race in Argentina

MotoGP: Doctors give Rins the OK, will try to race in Argentina

Alex Rins will try to race at Termas de Rio Hondo. Good news for the Suzuki rider, who crashed one week ago while training with his MX bike, fracturing his left talus and suffering a bone edema.

The Spaniard was checked out by doctors before leaving for Argentina and they are allowing him to race, despite ankle mobility being less than 100%.

Rins will continue with physiotherapy over the coming days and will be supported by doctors at the Argentinian track.

Alex hasn't lost his good humour though: “ I like Termas, I can exploit the GSX-RR's acceleration and the straight will seem shorter than it did when I was racing in Moto2 last year - he jokes - I injured myself while training, it's nothing serious but I need a little time to recover. I hope the pain doesn't bother me too much, I'm keen to continue with my MotoGP apprenticeship with Suzuki”.
