Jorge Lorenzo's shoulder and ankle injuries sust🧔ained during a huge end-of-qualifying highside at Laguna Seca have been confirmed after🍃 medical tests in Barcelona.

The Fiat Yamaha star was launched from his M1 ꦅwhile trying to protect pole position for the US Grand Prix, landing heavily on hisꦍ right shoulder before tumbling through the gravel.

The initial diagnosis by the Clinica Mobile has proven accurate, with Loren♚zo having sustained a 'Acromial Clavicular Separation' to his right collarbone, plus a fractured bone in his right foot.

Amazingly, Lorenzo overcame the pain and weakness resulting from his injuries and fought his way forward from eighth on l⛦ap one of the race to challenge team-mate and world champion Valentino Rossi for second po🌱sition in the closing stages.

But the 22-year-old's ovꦛertaking attempt went wrong and Rossi was able to slip a𒉰way, although Lorenzo - a double 2009 race winner - was only 1.582sec behind the Italian, and 1.926sec from race winner Dani Pedrosa, at the chequered flag.

Lore🐈nzo's brave ride means his is just nine points behind Rossi after eight of 17 rounds, the next of ✅which takes place in Germany on July 19.

The British Grand Prix is just one week late🔴r, but is followed by the MotoGP summer break, when - barring any further injuries - Lorenzo will have a chance to get fully fit again before Brn🎃o on August 16.
