The factory Ducati rider passed a medical check-up on Thursday ahead of the race weekend, the final hurdle to confirm his comeback from inju♊ry.

Bastianini broke a shoulder blade when Luca Marini crashed into him in the opening stages of the first-ever sprint race in Portim💯ao.

He was fortunate t꧅o avoid needing surgery but he has missed all three granꦇds prix so far this year.

Bastianini, therefore, still hasn’t scored his first point of a season where he was heavily tipped to challenge for the MotoGP t🐠itle which belongs to his new factory Ducati teammate Francesco Bagnaia.

Bastianini is 53 points🎀 behind Bagnaia in the MotoGP standings, and 64 points behind championship-leader Marco Bezzecchi.

He came through unscathed from a test🎉 session at Misano earlier this week, overseen by team boss Davide Tardozzi and test rider Michele Pirro.

Howeve🎐r, Bastianini has admitted he will race at Jerez without the fitness to fight for vict♓ory.

“I can't stay at home, I feel like racing,” he🍬 said. I'll try to bring home a few points.

"I'll be happy if I can sta🧜y i🅘n the top 10, it would be a good result.

"I will have to adapt to the speeds of MotoGP, the critical part will be the management of the race and to keep t𓆉he pace higꦦh. 

“I🎃 know that I will be very annoyed by the right-hand corners and in J𝕴erez they are enough. Let's hope the painkillers will take effect. 

“I'm calmer for ꦜthe Sprint tꦿhan for the normal race.”
