A🉐fter the five-time world champion was reported in hospital in Verona, Repsol๊ Honda has officially confirmed Lorenzo has sustained a fracture to his left scaphoid in a training accident.

Following hospital checks in Verona the team confirmed Lorenzo♈ will require surgery once additional medical checks are finished on Monday (January 21). Repsol Honda will release further information on his injury after the operat🌞ion is completed.

Lorenzo is set to take part in the Repsol Honda team launch in Madrid on Wednesday (January 23), where he will be officially unveiled by the team ☂following his switch from Ducati this winter, along with reigning MotoGP world champion Marquez who is still completing rehabilitation following shoulder surgery in December.
