Stoner returns for MotoGP debut.
After missing the last three pre-season tests, Honda LCR rider Casey Stoner will be fit to make his MotoGP debut in this weekend's season-opening Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.
Stoner was forced to halt his pre-season schedule - and undergo surgery on his right shoulder - after an old dirt track injury flared up during testing at Sepang in mid-February.
However, despite the setback, Stoner's post-surgery rehabilitation has gone to plan and he will be back on his RC211V this Friday.
"Now I can start the season knowing my shoulder is fixed and just concentrate on riding," said the 2005 250cc runner-up. "But I don't have any big expectations for Jerez and the early races of the season.
"The Spanish GP will be really be like a test session for me to get the feel of the Honda V5 again, after missing much of the winter testing. I won't be 100% race fit but it's a long season, and a learning year for me, so I have time on my side," added Casey, the youngest rider on the 2006 MotoGP grid.
