MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo will not race in Japan

Oct 19, 2018

Ducati rider Jorge Lorenzo has withdrawn from this weekend's Japan MotoGP, as he's still struggling with injuries he picked up in recent races.

He tried to take part in today's first practice session at Motegi, but only managed to do two laps. 

Lorenzo first suffered a foot injury following a collision at the Aragon GP in September. 

He then damaged his ankle and wrist in a practice accident at the last race in Thailand.
