Jorge Lorenzo has withdrawn from the r🦹emainder🍌 of the Thai MotoGP weekend, following his huge Friday fall.

The Ducati star, already carrying foot injuries (dislocated ꦉbig toe and fractured second metatarsal) from Aragon, was thrown into a vicious highside after a technical problem caused the engine to cut under braking for Turn 3.

Although no further fractures were announced on Fr🔯iday, on Saturday it was revealed that Lorenzo did suffer 'a hairline fracture to his left wrist' in addition to abrasions to his💃 right forearm and bruises to the right foot he had already injured in Spain.

Lorenzo waited to check his condition this morning before deciding not to continue - mainly due to the n🍸ew left-wrist injury, which he fears could also cast doubt on Moteꩵgi in two weeks.

The triple MotoGP champio🏅n will now focus on trying to be fit for the following flyaway rounds in Japan, Australia and Malaysia.

Lorenzo was seventh fastest at the t♛ime of his fall, dropping to 16th place after missing the closing stages of FP2.

The Aragon accident, Lorenzo's second DNF in a row, means he is now 44 points beh♓ind team🏅-mate Andrea Dovizioso in the fight for second in the world championship. Dovizioso was fastest on Friday.
