Following a 13th place finish on his Repsol Honda debut in Qatar, it was discovered that Jorge Lorenzo had a cracked rib in his nasty Losail p♈ra🌸ctice 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 his left wrist due to a technical prꦅoblem next time in Thailand.

Lorenzo then broke the scaphoid bone in the same wrist during a January training accident, robbing him of the Sepang test, before returning to action at the Qꦑatar 💜test and following race.

The two weeks since the sea🍸son-op෴ener have 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 improved a lot since the race," Lorenzo said ahead🐽 of this weekend's second round in Argentina.

“Despite not 🧔finishing where we wanted, Qatar showed that we have a lot of potential with the Honda. Argentina will give us a chance to continue to improve on the bike."

Lorenzo finished 15th in last year's ☂damp Termas de Rio Hondo race f🍬or Ducati, with his best result a third place for Yamaha at the inaugural 2014 round.

"In the past Argenꦜtina has not been one of my strongest circuits,🍬 but the Honda presents a new opportunity," he said.
