JAKARTA - Ducati Lenovo racer, Enea Bastianini, has not appeared again after an accident in the MotoGP Portugal sprint race, the inaugural series of the season. As a result of the accident, he suffered a broken right cross.

The latest news says Bastianini has flown to Jerez. He flew in the hope of racing in the Spanish MotoGP.

However, before being able to race, Bastianini must be able to pass medical and fitness tests.

"After weeks of rehabilitation and working hard to recover from injury, Enea has returned to the track at Misano today (24/4/2023). Enea did 10 laps and has positive feelings," said the Ducati Lenovo racing team, quoted from the official MotoGP website, Wednesday.

"He will fly to Jerez and undergo a medical examination on Thursday to determine if he is fit for the race at the Spanish Grand Prix," the team continued in a statement.

As is known, Pecco Bagnaia's teammate had an accident in Portugal after being in contact with Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) at Turn 5. The incident caused the Italian rider to lose balance and fall quite hard.

After being questioned at the hospital, it was discovered that Bastianini had a broken bone that forced her to miss the main race on Sunday. His condition was declared unsuitable and impossible to be able to race.

As a result of the injury, the rider nicknamed "The Beast" has missed the main race at the Portuguese MotoGP, as well as the MotoGP Argentina and MotoGP United States.

Meanwhile, the fourth round of MotoGP will take place from April 28 to 30 at the Jerez-Ownedel Nieto Circuit, Spain.
