LORENZO RECOVERING WELL IN BARCELONA
Fiat Yamaha Team rider Jorge Lorenzo is recovering well in
hospital following his crash yesterday afternoon in practice for the Grand Prix
of Catalunya. The Spanish rookie passed the night in Barcelona’s Institut Dexues
under the watchful eye of Dr. Xavier Mir, after hitting his head and injuring
his right hand in the fall. Lorenzo will remain at the hospital for at least
another 24 hours for more rest and observation and further information will be
available tomorrow.
“I am pleased to say that Jorge’s condition is
improving well,” said Dr. Mir this afternoon. “He passed a good night
and has had a good rest. We cannot say anything in more detail until tomorrow
afternoon at the earliest, but I am pleased to say that he has recovered his
memory 100%. Tomorrow we will make another neurological examination and also
another examination of his right hand, when we will decide whether a skin graft
will be necessary on his fourth and fifth fingers.”
