We're on the edge of the new season kick-off, and Franco Morbidelli's road to Qatar is turning into quite the fitness saga. The Italian, eyeing his debut with Prima Pramac Racing, has jetted off to the Lusail International Circuit with fingers crossed for a thumbs-up after Thursday's medical check.
Switching from Yamaha, Morbidelli's introduction to Ducati's GP24 hit a roadblock with a hefty training spill in Portimao, forcing him to miss both pre-season tests. The good news? His March 2nd MRI gave a green light, and now, we're all holding our breath for the circuit's medical nod before he hits the track.
In Morbidelli's words, "I'm buzzing to get the season rolling. I can't wait to hop on the bike, dive back into the race vibes, and bond with my new team. Despite the hiccup, I'm putting it behind me and focusing on the road ahead. Big thanks to the docs, my support crew, and a shoutout to Prima Pramac Racing for having my back."
As the curtain rises on the 75th World Championship, the real action unfolds on Friday afternoon โ here's to hoping Morbidelli gets the green light for a stellar comeback! ๐๏ธ๐ #MorbidelliComeback #BikeLife #QatarGPReady
