(Reuters) - Valentino Rossi was cleared on Thursday to take part in this weekend's Aragon MotoGP round in Spain, three weeks after the Yamaha rider broke his leg in two places. "This afternoon Valentino Rossi successfully completed a mandatory medical examination carried out by MotorLand Aragon's Chief Medical Officer, Clemente Millan," the team said in a statement. Rossi, who is still walking with the use of crutches, will take part in Friday's practice to test his fitness to race on Sunday. "I'll have the real answer after FP1 (first free practice), because riding the M1 (bike) will be a much bigger challenge. Dutch Superbike rider Michael van der Mark, 24, is on standby as a replacement but has never ridden a MotoGP bike before.
