Alvaro Bautista to race in Portugal

Alvaro is undergoing an intense physiotherapy to make sure that he is fit enough to race this weekend. In case Alvaro is not fit enough for the race, Suzuki will have test rider Nobuatsu Aoki on his toes to be ready to race even in short notice. Needless to say, the Spanish racer will have to go through a full-fledged medical test with respect to his racing fitness. Alvaro was spotted practicing on a supermotard yesterday judging by which the medical test will seem like a mere formality.

Rizla Suzuki's Alvaro Bautista has recovered from his fremur injury and will race at Estoril, Portugal

“I have been working very hard to be back in time for Estoril and I believe I will be able to take part in the race,” said a hard working Alvaro. “It is going to be really tough, but I am totally focused on being on the GSV-R in Portugal, it’s all I can think about at the moment and that is my first goal. After that we’ll see what happens and take everything one step at a time,” he added.

 It has only been 42 days since Avlaro’s injury and he’s already almost fit to recover from the injury thanks to the hyperbaric chamber which is becoming a effective and fast paced treatment for recovery of broken bones. The Rizla racer could not race in Qatar as well as Spain, this will be his first race of the season.
