Following a 13th place finish on his Repsol Honda debut in Qatar, it was discovered that Jorge Lorenzo had 🔯a 𝓰cracked rib in his nasty Losail practice highside.

It was the latest in a long list of injuries for the triple MotoGP champion, which began with a broken toe at Aragon last year, followed by a crack to the radius bone of hiꦑs left wrist due to a technical probl🎀em next time in Thailand.

Lorenzo then broke the scaphoid bone in the same wrist duri🌠ng a January training accident, robbing hi♓m of the Sepang test, before returning to action at the Qatar test and following race.

The two weeks since the season-opener h🌃ave allowed valuable healing time for the ✃Spanish star.

"I have been focusing fully on my recovery, the wrist is feeling better and the pain in my ribs has also improv𝐆ed a lot since the race," Lorenzo said ahead of this weekend's second round in Argentina.

“Despite not finishing where we wanted, Qatar s❀howed that we have a lot of potential with the Honda. Argentina will give us a chance to conti🧸nue to improve on the bike."

Lorenzo finished 15th in last year's damp Termas de Rio Hondoꦗ race for Ducati, with his best re▨sult a third place for Yamaha at the inaugural 2014 round.

"In the past Argentina has not been one of my strongest circuits, but the H🎐onda presents a new opportunity," he said.
