Valentino Rossi will be replaced by GRT World Superbike rider Garrett Gerloff on the opening day of the European Grand Prix.
Rossi, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday 5th October, also tested positive earlier this week, however, a second PCR test, taken on Thursday 6th November, returned negative, meaning the 41-year-old could travel to the circuit.
The Doctor underwent a further PCR test on Friday 6th November, if that returns negative we will see the number 46 back on the YZR-M1 on Saturday for the third free practice session of the weekend.
In the meantime, American Garrett Gerloff will step in to replace Rossi at a cold, wet Valencia circuit.
MotoGP free practice gets underway at 10:55 local time.
