[kropotkin thinks...] - Jorge Lorenzo Damages Plated Collarbone In Crash At Sachsenri
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- Jorge Lorenzo's title hopes have suffered a major setback. The Spaniard crashed heavily during the second session of free practice at the Sachsenring, being thrown from his bike at Turn 10, the final left hander before the fast right hander at the top of the hill. Lorenzo fell on his left shoulder once again, getting up clearly in pain. The reigning world champion was taken to the medical center, where scans suggested that his collarbone had sustained further damage. He was then transported to hospital, where further tests revealed the plate on his collarbone had become bent, and would have to be replaced. Unofficial but reliable reports say that Lorenzo will undergo further surgery to replace the plate in his collarbone. Unlike Assen, however, Lorenzo will not make a dramatic return to the circuit, and is almost certain to skip both the Sachsenring race and the Laguna Seca round next weekend. That would give the Spaniard over a month to recover, in time for the following round of MotoGP at Indianapolis, in mid-August. Bending the plate holding a collarbone together is a common occurrence among racers, even months or years after the original accident which required the plate to be fitted. A heavy crash on a plated collarbone will sometimes cause it to bend, requiring the plate to be replaced. read more
