DOCTORS TREATING Fiat Yamaha star Jorge Lorenzo for the fractured wrist the Spaniard sustained in a training accident last Thursday have said he may not be fit for the final pre-season MotoGP test in Qatar.
Yesterday it was confirmed Lorenzo would miss the second 2010 Sepang test, scheduled to take place next week, but further examinations of the Yamaha rider's injury have now thrown doubts over Lorenzo's fitness for the Qatar test, which takes place March 18-19.
Press manager for Lorenzo, Hector Martin, told motogp.com: “At the moment there are serious doubts as to whether Jorge will be fully recovered for the Qatar test. We must wait and see how his injury and rehabilitation go after he has his stitches removed, which will be next Friday or Monday.”
The 2010 MotoGP championship kicks of on April 11th at Losail circuit, Qatar.
