Lorenzo Sustain Foot Injuries

MotoGP


Analysis at the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona, where Lorenzo has unfortunately been a frequent visitor in his rookie season in MotoGP, revealed fractures of the third, fourth and fifth metatarsal of the Fiat Yamaha rider’s left foot. The breaks were suffered without dislocation, and Lorenzo´s ankle was not reinjured in the crash.

Ten days of limited movement have been prescribed by Dr. Xavier Mir, with the goal of complete mobility in time for the next round of the MotoGP World Championship in Brno. Lorenzo will have a cast on his foot during that time, with a weight-relieving splint attached afterwards to allow him to walk thereafter.

“I’m in a quite a lot of pain and angry, because this new fall stops my progress,” said Lorenzo.

“I have plaster in my left foot but I can hardly walk because my right foot also hurts from the impact, although fortunately there are no injuries.

“Luckily I have time to recover for Brno, even if I’m left with no vacation.”
