Lorenzo taken for examination after crash

Despite the nasty look of his practice session spill, initial examination suggests that Jorge Lorenzo escaped the incident without suffering any serious damage.

Fiat Yamaha´s Jorge Lorenzo has been taken to Barcelona´s Clinica Dexeus by helicopter, after a crash in the second MotoGP Free Practice session at the Circuit de Catalunya.

The Clinica Mobile at the track discovered a contusion to his left ankle -previously injured in Shanghai- and some small damage to his right hand. He played no further part in the session after the crash, although Yamaha expect him to be back in action tomorrow morning.
