For the first time since Portimao Dominique Aegerter could be back on track at Estoril.

Dominique Aegerter was forced to miss the last three World Superbike rounds with a right shoulder injury. However, the Swiss rider is aiming to be back on track this weekend at Estoril.

Before Aegerter can ride he will need to undergo a medical assessment with the FIM WorldSBK Medical Director. The GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team are prepared for if Aegerter fails his assessment as they have Alessandro Delbianco waiting in the wings to step in if he is needed.

If Aegerter is declared fit to ride this will be the first time he has ridden a Superbike at Estoril. In the past Aegerter has won three races at the Portuguese circuit, but all on Supersport machinery.

Dominique Aegerter: "Finally, hopefully I can ride again and see again all the guys! I couldn't wait to be back in action and every day I worked very hard on my recovery.

"It won't be an easy weekend, not going to lie, as I'll be back after a long time and still have some pain in my ribs and shoulder, and although I already know the track, I've never ridden there with a Superbike, so it'll be quite challenging, but the most important thing is that I can try to race again and I'm impatient to see everyone."
