Jorge Lorenzo is certainly not starting his 2019 as he would have liked. While a season of challenge against Marc Marquez, whom he chose to face in his lair, awaits him, the Mallorcan will appear tomorrow, convalescing from an operated fracture of the left scaphoid, for the official presentation of the team Repsol Honda. Annoying, but not dramatic, if we are to believe the diagnosis of the essential doctor Mir, who always gives color to the pilots.
On the waves of MotoGP.com, the one who fears no one with a scalpel comments about his patient: “ The scaphoid is a bone that consolidates with difficulty. The surgery allows the positioning of a particular nail which allows rehabilitation to be undertaken within ten days. Whereas normally without intervention it would take several months for a full recovery ».
So much for the miracle of medicine. For the rest, here is the line Mir : " This is the same wrist that was injured during the Thai Grand Prix. But this new fracture has no connection with the previous injuries. It was the same wrist that had been injured twice, once to the radius and once to the ligaments near the scaphoid. This is a fracture of the scaphoid bone itself. For four days, the wrist must be immobilized. Then Jorge will be able to start his rehabilitation at home, in Lugano ».
He finishes : " after ten days we will do a check. The idea will be for him to intensify his rehabilitation to be ready for the tests in Qatar. Otherwise, it will certainly be operational for the first race at Losail ". In the meantime, the doctor Mir played transparency with the new Honda rider by showing him his work, frame by frame…
