After nearly a year on the sidelines, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Cal Crutchlow will make his long-awaited return to Yamaha MotoGP testing duties this week at a private test i𒉰n Valencia.

The Brit h🗹ad been forced out of action by complications following surgery to his right hand, which scuppered last year’s planned wild-card appearances and halted his test riding activities.

“Finally - Cal is 100 percent recovered from ℱhis hand injury,” Yamaha Motorsport Director Paolo Pavesio told .

“He hasn't ridden for a very long time, bu♑t his test rider duties will now begin again. He will compete in the test programme alongside Augusto [Fernandez].”

Fernandez, who lost his KTM race seat at the end of last year, joined Yamaha’s test team in 2025 and has recently been filling in for ꦛthe injured Miguel Oliveira at Pramac.

He scored points with 13th at COTA and headed s🧔traight to ⛎Valencia following Sunday’s Qatar Grand Prix.

“From ✤here, I‘ll fly straight to Valencia for two days of testing, so it‘s going to be a busy week for me,” Fernandez confirmed.

As with🌳 all Yamaha private tests this year, speculation surrounds the development of their new V4-powered prototype.

Motorsport.com reports Yamaha “plans to test the V4 engine” at Valencia while Speedweek states the focus will remain on updates for the current inline-four M1 - which Fabio Quartararo rode to the front row in Qatar qualifying - ahead of the upcoming Jerez tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚest.
