Francesco Bagnaia’s mind turned to his comeback soon after last weekend’s horror incident.
At the Catalunya MotoGP, the world champion violently highsided then was struck in the legs by Brad Binder while he lay on the ground.
He thankfully avoided major injury and remarkably could ride just days later, at this weekend’s San Marino MotoGP, a homecoming for Bagnaia and Ducati."On Sunday night, I went back home with the team, and after getting some rest, I immediately started preparing to be ready to return to the track in Misano,” Bagnaia said.
“On Thursday, I will undergo the medical checkup at the circuit, and if, as I hope, the doctors give me the OK, I will be able to get on track on Friday for the first practice of my home Grand Prix. “The San Marino GP is always a special event for us Italian riders and especially for us Ducati riders.
