“Fit! After undergoing medical checks with Doctor Angel Charte this morning, Andrea Dovizioso has been declared fit and ready to race this weekend,” Ducati said on Twitter.
Andrea Dovizioso, runner-up behind Spaniard Marc Marquez of Honda in 2019, said he was eager to get back on the race track.
“After the collarbone operation, I continued to work hard to try to get as ready as possible for the Spanish GP,” the Italian told the team’s website.
“I feel pretty good but until I get in the saddle of the Desmosedici GP, I don’t know what my real conditions are. We will have to get used to the heat of Jerez and, given the short schedule, it will be even more important to make no mistakes.”
