The extent of the injuries incurred by Jorge Lorenzo in the opening MotoGP session have been assessed, after the Spaniard was subjected to an x-ray and examination at the Huashan hospital in Shanghai.
A chipped bone in his left ankle and pain in that of his left side are the consequences of a huge highside onboard his Fiat Yamaha M1. His upper body braced as he took the impact on his forearms, Lorenzo´s injuries have been limited to his lower body.
Whilst he did not ride in the afternoon session, it is possible that he will return to action on Saturday morning.
Läser man artikeln innan han blev röntgad verkade det som om det var höger ankel som var mest illa däran, men den står det inget om sedan?
Och tittar man på bilderna verkar det vara höger ankel som han har mest ont i.

The exact extent of his injuries will not be known until after an x-ray is undertaken, but the Clinica Mobile believe that the Spaniard has fractured his right ankle, cut the heel of the same foot and has possible damage to the left ankle. The Spaniard also appears to have suffered an abrasion to his left knee.
`I don't think Jorge will be able to ride this afternoon because he has pain in both ankles and needs a further x-ray at the hospital, so it will take time to get there and back and to do the tests,´ said Daniele Romagnoli, Lorenzo´s Team Manager, after talking with the Clinica Mobile.
`Dr Costa wants to be absolutely sure about the injuries as it looks like there could be possible small fractures in both ankles. The knee injury is not too serious, just a bit of a cut.' Moto GP
