Ahead of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship’s return to Imola, one home-hero has been given the all-clear to start the racing weekend. Michael Ruben Rinaldi (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) has been given the green light to start the event but will undergo a review after FP1. The #21 was involved in an opening lap incident at Donington Park during Race 2 with Tom Sykes (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) and Loris Baz (Bonovo Action BMW).

The Italian suffered mild concussion and a right ankle injury during the incident. Five days later, a statement from the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team said that Rinaldi had carried out an MRI scan and found that the result was normal. After FP1, he will be reassessed and his participation for the rest of the Prometeon Italian Round will be clearer one way or another.
