Lorenzo recovery progressing well

Thursday, 10 November 2011

This week the Spanish rider started rehabilitation for the finger injury he sustained at Phillip Island just over three weeks ago, and hopes to be able to return to gym work on Monday.

Having missed the last two rounds of the season and this week’s Valencia Test after injuring a finger on his left hand on a warm-up session crash at the Australian GP on October 16th, Jorge Lorenzo is almost ready to return to full physical activity.

The Yamaha Factory Racing rider underwent surgery on the finger immediately after the injury, and this week began his rehabilitation. On Monday he expects to be able to start working in the gym, as the progress of his recovery takes another step forward.

Lorenzo will take part in the All Stars GP Karting Indoor event on December 18th in Barcelona, alongside F1, Indy Car and Rally drivers.

The Spaniard will next be back on his factory 2012 M1 for the Official MotoGP Test at Sepang, which is scheduled for January 31st to February 2nd.
