Double MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo is recovering from surgery on his left collarbone, which saw the removal of 11 screws and the titanium plates fitted after Lorenzo’s 2013 Sachsenring crash, meaning the bone can now heal more completely.
The 26-year-old also had a small procedure performed on his right thumb, further to an injury sustained in 2010.
Lorenzo has suffered a series of collarbone injuries over the course of his career, with heavy crashes at Assen and Sachsenring this year resulting in damage to his left collarbone.
Lorenzo is now home, and will be re-examined before the end of the month. He then plans to resume full training early in 2014 to be ready for the first MotoGP test in Sepang after the winter test break.
