MotoGP Aragon: Smith returns to action at Motegi

Britain’s Bradley Smith will return to MotoGP action the upcoming Twin-Ring Motegi round after missing the last three races through injury.

The Monster Yamaha man will get back in the saddle in Japan after undergoing surgery to repair ligaments damaged when he was run over at the Oschersleben Eight-Hour endurance race.

"I am really happy that I will be getting back on the Yamaha YZR-M1 in Motegi. I have to admit that it has been challenging for me to watch the last three races from the sofa on a Sunday, even though it looks like the conditions in those rounds were tough,” said the Oxfordshire coppertop.

“It’s good that this period is over now and I can finally return to the track. I have been working hard on my entire rehabilitation and many people have committed a lot of time and effort to give me the best chance to be ready as quickly as possible.

”In fact, the recovery process was due to be six months but after the efforts by myself, the doctors and everyone else, I managed to do it eight to nine weeks. For sure, it’s super that I am fit enough to race again and I am excited for the last four MotoGP events of the 2016 season, including the flyaway races and in addition, I am looking forward to seeing the whole Monster Yamaha Tech3 team again."
