The Turkish rider has provided an update on his condition, saying: "The good newsꦛ is that I feel good! Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone for their kind messages, also the team and Handan Kilnc for making sure I’m as comfortable as possible. 

"Obviously𒁃 it’s been very boring here, but I’m also happy to have a nice place to 💧live in, while I wait for a negative test result. 

"I’m hopin🎃g that I’ll get a chance to join the teamꦰ for the first Aragon test, but we will see what the situation is after Saturday."

Although Razgatlioglu missed out on valuable testing during the final day, it w൩as a good one for the team overall with rookie Andrea Locatelli impressing🦹 on his fourth outing. 

This comes afte꧒r the team's two-day test at Misano alongside Aruba.it Ducati a week prior which Razgatlioglu participated in. 

As Razg꧃atlioglu mentioned, the next opportunity to ride the R1 ꩲYamaha will be a test at Aragon, before the season opener at the same venue on May 21-23.
