If he has a plate put in then he'll have all the strength he had before the break and could be back in a week. Let's hope it's not as bad as when Dani broke his, and had to take to a long time off.

Either way he's lost this championship, but he was overdue a non-finish (or non-start in this case) compared to the rest of his rivals.

he's going to try to race tomorrow

You have got to be kidding, that is dedication for you but seriously, less than 24 hours after having a plate put in your shoulder? I think someone in the yamaha team should just tell him no, the damage he could do if he falls off again could be a lot worse.

He has proved just how gutsy he is and no ones doubting that but I just hope Yamaha pull him out for his own good.

Jorge Lorenzo given go ahead by medical staff to participate in Warm Up at Assen today
his fitness will be reviewed after Warm Up to confirm race participation

just waiting for morning warmup to start to see how he does.

update
Lorenzo is lapping 10th fastest so far in warmup

 

[Katoom]

Close at the top in warm-up. Rossi, MM and Cal.

Awesome stuff from Lorenzo, 8th.

 

[Incinerat0r]

Impressive by Lorenzo to say the least, guess this race could make or break the championship for him. Surely this has to be one of Cals best chances for a win though

 

[teejay73]

I have got to say that JL has some of the biggest balls in the sport, Perhaps the medical team at Barca decided to plate them with titanium too....Truly epic stuff. Seems like he craves the legend status that Rossi has!!! Really hope he does not have another off though as it could wreck his season if he gets injured anymore.

Kudos to Rossi though, He seems to be getting there, Albeit not as fast as I would like...Cal has been simply amazing really....Why he would want a ride on a factory Duc is beyond me!!

 

[Psycho Ned]

A win for the Doctor!!

Been a long long wait, great to see.

 

[Katoom]

Great race. Awesome ride again from Cal, close there.


Stunning result for Lorenzo. Amazing.





The fan club are out.

 

[deuse]

A win for the Doctor!!

Been a long long wait, great to see.

Well done Cal nearly got 2nd but 3rd will do

 

[ps3ud0]

How did Lorenzo do in the end? I watched up until he got passed by Carl, did he kept 5th then?

ps3ud0

Yep.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Yeah Lorenzo finished 5th which was an amazing job considering his physical fitness!

Looks absolutely destroyed at the end of the race though.

 

[ps3ud0]

Kudos to him, yeah Im glad Rossi won, but more impressed in that 5th tbh - I actually cant understand how hes in any state to be on a road bike let alone a moto gp bike at competitive speeds...

[teejay73]

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.....The goat will always be the goat!!!!!!! 46 always!!

Cal, Great ride, should have had 2nd and Jorge, beaten up but a great ride!!!!

 

[Katoom]

Lol at Cal spitting shampers over MM.


3 great personalities.

 

[ShakenNstirred]

good race, well pleased for rossi and Lorenzo was amazing today.
cal was unlucky not to get 2nd
