Melandri heads for Malaysia.
Further checks on Marco Melandri, who sustained a deep flesh wound after being accidentally rammed by Valentino Rossi during Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi, have revealed no bone fractures or internal injuries.
Melandri required immediate surgery at the Clinica Mobile after the accident, to repair damage caused by a footpeg on his Movistar Honda digging into his right foot during the fall. The Italian was then taken to a nearby hospital for a more detailed examination of his injuries.
