Estrella Galicia Honda’s Tito Rabat will return to MotoGP action at this week’s Qatar test but admits he is not yet fully fit after being left with multiple injuries in a crash at Sepang.
The Spaniard suffered a distal fracture of the radius, a fracture of the fifth metacarpal in the right hand, a fracture to the distal phalanx in the right foot and a severely lacerated left knee in the turn 11 crash, and has been recovered and undergoing physiotherapy ever since.
"The last four weeks have been all about rehabilitation, working with the physiotherapist to recover from the injuries and also the surgery. I am still not back to full fitness but I'm fit to ride and although we'll need to take the injuries into account in Qatar, this won't stop us from enjoying a productive test,” said Rabat.
“This test isn't about pushing for a lap time, it's about working with my crew, rebuilding my confidence with the bike and ensuring we are as well prepared as it's possible to be when we return to the Losail International Circuit for the first race of the season."
