Both riders were injured when they crashed out of Race One in Australia. Despite the setback, the pair say they're fit to race at this weekend's event in Portugal:
"I'm really keen to get to Portugal and get back on the bike," said Crutchlow. "Last time I raced here I won the world title in Supersport so I have good feelings for the track. I'm going to put 100% into my efforts this weekend as always and we'll see what happens with the progress the guys have made over the last couple of weeks."
Toseland, who suffered a hand injury in Australia, is also keen to get back on track:
"I'm really looking forward to it," he said. "We had a tough time in Australia but I believe the team has been working really hard in the meantime and the test went well in Misano. My hand is nearly back to normal although there's still a bit of pain. I'm basically looking forward to getting out on track and seeing what progress we've made to catch up."
