News from the press association:
MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi has flown to Malaysia for a pre-season test despite having stitches in his left hand and foot after falling onto a glass table at home.
The Fiat Yamaha rider was closing the curtains in his house when he tripped and fell on the table, which broke, cutting the ring finger of his left hand and the sole of his left foot.
The 29-year-old went to hospital for treatment on both injuries.
A Fiat Yamaha team statement confirmed Rossi would nevertheless attempt to ride at the first test of the season at the Sepang circuit, which gets under way on Thursday.
"The injuries are not serious but it is not yet clear whether or not they will make him uncomfortable when riding this week," the statement read.
"Nevertheless Rossi will fly out to Malaysia as planned."
