Jorge Lorenzo is expected to be fully fit for this weekends Chinese Moto GP following the operation on his arm.

Lorenzo, who took his first win of his Moto GP career in the last race at Portugal, had surgery the next day to correct the carpal tunnel syndrome he was suffering with.  He has since missed the post race testing as he’s been recovering.

He said “Each day I am feeling better after my operation.  I feel great and I think the recovery is going very well, without problems.  I am going to China in perfect shape.  The victory in Portugal was like a big present that I had never expected, but in a way it wasn’t a perfect victory because I couldn’t enjoy it so much.  The pain in my arms changed the celebration but I believe the most important thing is to make sure I am fit for the future.  Lorenzo is now leading the Championship after only three races on his first season in Moto GP.

Lorenzo’s teammate, Valentino Rossi is happier about his performance in the last two races and said “After Estoril we had a test and the primary focus was tyre testing with Bridgestone, working on material for Shanghai.  We found some good things and I hope that we’ll be starting in good shape.  We’ve had three races together now and I think the last two podiums, especially in Estoril which isn’t such a good track for Bridgestone, have shown that we’re making good progress in our relationship and I hope that Shanghai is going to be the place where it finally all comes together.  We’re not in such a bad place in the championship and there is a very long way to go, but our rivals are very strong so we can’t afford to make mistakes and we need to try and take as many points as possible from now on.”
