The Italian has yet to ride the Ducati GP24 after a training crash in Portimao caused the #21 to miss both the Sepang and Qatar pre-season Tests. On March 2nd Morbidelli underwent an MRI scan, which gave “favourable results” before getting the all-clear to fly to Qatar to get declared fit by the circuit's medics.
It is building to an exciting year with a full grid for the Qatar GP which begins on Friday afternoon to start the 75th World Championship season. Make sure you have a look at the weekend's schedule so you don't miss any of the action.
