ISLE OF MAN residentCal Crutchlow has undergone successful surgery on his left shoulder last Friday morning.

The 29-year-old went to the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle last week to have Consultant Shoulder Surgeon and Professor of Orthopaedics & Sports Science Len Funk remove a plate from his left collarbone which was needed after a crash in 2011. Whilst under anaesthetic Crutchlow also had his shoulder cleaned due to arthritis.

Crutchlow explained:“I had arthritis in my left shoulder after a crash I had in 2010 and I also had a plate in there from my crash at Silverstone in 2011.

"I needed to get the arthritis cleaned out because in warmer conditions I didn’t have an issue, but in the cold, it was a bit painful. And the plate has been finally removed.

"Now I feel much better and want to thank Professor Len for his excellent job. Soon I will fly to America to start my winter training programme and I am really looking forward to the next outing aboard the RCV.”

The new CWM LCR Honda rider has planned a winter training camp in America and will fly out at the end of November. Crutchlow's second time with his new team will take place in February at the Sepang circuit.
