Alvaro Bautista will race in the upcoming French Grand Prix, de🍷spite breaking his shoulder in a motocross training accident.

The factory Rizla Suzuki rider looked set to skip the third round of the season after undergoing an operation this morning [Friday] to his fractured clavicle, but the nature of the injury, which is a clean break, has prompted doctors to g꧃ive him the green light to compete at Le Mans in just over a week's time.

A team spokesman confirmed to wuqian0821.com that Bautista is '99 per cent positive' to be racing in France, adding that r🌸umours he was set for a lengthy lay-off have been 'gᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚreatly exaggerated'.

"We will make no off🌱icial announcement until we know exactly what's going on," he ꦿsaid. "Alvaro is with the surgeon at the moment, and we understand it is a break in the clavicle.

"From the initial inspection by the surgeon, it is 99 per cent positive that he will ride next wꦐeekend at Le Mans.

🧔"The rumour has been greatly exaggerated. He is adamant he will ride regardless!"

Bautista scored his first top ten MotoGP result last time out in Spain⛎ with a run to tenth position.

Rizla Suzuki says it has no⭕ plans to source a replacement for Bautista, but will be keeping a close watch𓂃 on his condition over the coming days.
