(Reuters) - Valentino Rossi will have a medical on Wednesday before deciding whether to try to compete in this weekend's Aragon MotoGP round in Spain, three weeks after breaking his leg, his Yamaha team said. Yamaha said the nine times world champion had ended Tuesday with "an improved feeling and a more positive impression compared to yesterday." Rossi suffered the break in an accident while riding an off-road enduro bike on Aug. 31. Yamaha team boss Lin Jarvis said last week he doubted Rossi would go to Spain unless he felt he could be fighting for the top five or six positions. In 2010, it took Rossi six weeks before returning after he broke his right leg in practice for the Italian Grand Prix.
