Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Alex Rins has been cleared to travel to the Termas de Rio Hondo MotoGP race in Argentina this weekend.

Rins had a small accident while training last Thursday with his RM-Z motocross machine, suffering a partial fracture of his right ankle, but with bone edema.

“My first race in Qatar had been a very exciting experience and honestly left with me the feeling that it all went too fast and was too short,” Rins said.

“I can’t wait to experience again all the emotion of MotoGP. The Argentinian circuit is one I like, I believe I will really enjoy the acceleration with the GSX-RR and I’m expecting the straight to seem to be a lot shorter compared to last year’s Moto2.

“I had this injury while training last week. It’s not a bad injury but will require some time to recover. I really hope it won’t bother me too much with the pain, as I’m excited to continue learning in this class with my Suzuki.”

Rins underwent further medical checks yesterday and could lean on his foot with some discomfort, but despite the mobility of his ankle not being 100 percent, he will try to race. He will continue physiotherapy and will be monitored by doctors at Termas de Rio Hondo.
