Gresini Racing is upbeat on the condition of owner Fausto Gresini, who is now said by the doctor where he is hospitalised after contracting COVID-19 to be “more stable”.
The two-time 125cc world champion remains on a ventilator, having been in hospital since December 27 after becoming infected with the coronavirus prior to Christmas.
Aside from breathing, however, his organs are reported as functional and his carers appear optimistic, based on the latest update from Gresini Racing.
