Lorenzo given green light to race

Jorge Lorenzo has been given the official green light to take part in this weekend's French Grand Prix at Le Mans.

The Yamaha rider, who injured both his ankles in a crash during practice in China, underwent an assessment in Barcelona this afternoon by Doctor Xavier Mir.

The check-up confirmed Lorenzo's injuries were healing well, although the Spaniard will have to continue physiotherapy before he takes to the track for first free practice tomorrow

"Not enough time has passed yet for the injuries to fully heal, but Jorge's pain threshold will allow him to compete without too much risk this weekend," said Doctor Mir.

Lorenzo has been on a wheelchair since his crash.
