Motorcycling: Bautista ready to return from injury

LONDON: Suzuki MotoGP rider Alvaro Bautista could be back in action in Portugal this weekend just 42 days after he broke his thigh bone. “I have been working very hard to be back in time for Estoril and I believe I will be able to take part in the race,” said the Spaniard. “I know it will be difficult, but I think the sooner I can get on the bike the more it will aid my total recovery and help my way to full fitness.” Bautista broke his left femur in practice for the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix in March.
