Movistar Yamaha has confirmed Valentino Rossi will be able to ride when free practice at the Mugello round of the MotoGP World Championship begins later today.

Rossi was injured while riding motocross late last week and has been uncertain for the Italian grand prix, however an assessment on Thursday at the circuit sees him declared fit to take part.

The nine-time world champion underwent a routine medical check-up, where FIM medical director Dr Giancarlo Di Filippo, Mugello Circuit chief medical officer Dr Remo Barbagli and MotoGP medical director Dr Angel Charte all found Rossi to be in a suitable condition to ride this weekend.
