Following his highside crash during FP2 at Sachsenring, Jorge Lorenzo has now been ruled out of the rest of the German GP weekend.
After topping this morning’s free practice Lorenzo started the second free practice by posting the fastest time but he then suffered a huge crash and fell heavily on his left shoulder re-injuring his recovering left collarbone after his surgery just two weeks ago.
X-rays revealed – as we already knew – had damaged the titanium plate that was inserted during his collarbone surgery in Barcelona and the Yamaha rider will have to undergo further surgery – tomorrow – to repair the damage and there will be no repeat of his amazing performance at Assen.
“I have decided to go to Barcelona and recover after today’s crash at Sachsenring.
I prefer to focus on surgery to fix the plate that was unfortunately bent during the crash.
I will try to recover and be back as soon as possible,” said Lorenzo.
With the Laguna Seca GP coming up next week and then the summer break, we may not see Lorenzo until the Indianapolis GP on August 18th.
