BMW Motorrad Motorsport's Ruben Xaus look likely to return to racing at Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola, Italy, this weekend, Sept 27
"My physiotherapy and rehabilitation has gone very well and I think I will be able to race in Imola," Ruben's said. "Just before Imola, I will get on a bike and see how my leg behaves and how it feels when I get off the bike. In the normal scheme of things, I should really not be on a bike at all before Portimao, but everything has gone well so far and I am very eager to get on my bike and race. I saw the progress at Brno before I crashed and I am itching to get on my bike and see how much progress the team have made since then. There is no absolutely final decision about Imola yet, but I am very, very hopeful."
Troy Corser is looking forward to returning the famous venue but has some reservations on the new layout.
"Although we have tested at Imola this year - on the new layout - there is still lots to learn and do," Corser said. "For me the new approach to the front straight is not as good as before and the final chicane could cause problems. I am looking forward to riding my bike again as I believe that we have made really good progress recently and I want to see how this progress continues in Imola. Hopefully the weather will be better than the Nurburgring and we will get a good crowd and a good result."
