Successful surgery for Lorenzo but will miss Sepang, Valencia in doubt

Surgery to repair damage to Jorge Lorenzo’s finger in Melbourne this evening has been successful. The surgeon was able to save the nerves and tendons of the injured fourth finger, as a result no functionality will be lost in either the finger or the hand. Unfortunately an extended recovery time will be required so Jorge will not race in Sepang for the Malaysian Grand Prix. A decision on the Valencia Grand Prix will be made dependent on Jorge’s condition after his return to Barcelona. The official medical bulletin will be released tomorrow morning.
