WSS: Team Lorenzini Kawasaki concludes testing at Imola. Injury for Sofuoglu.

The Team Kawasaki Deltafin Lorenzini concluded yesterday afternoon testing at the Autodromo Internazionale in Imola. Unfortunately, Kenan Sofuoglu, who at the last test session at Phillip Island had achieved excellent results, was the victim in the Friday morning of a big crash that forced the pilot to travel faster turkish at the hospital in Imola. After the first measurement, the physicians showed strong bruises to the neck, left shoulder and, most seriously, the left knee.

Specifically, Sofuoglu has reported a dislocation of the fibular head but it has not stopped a driver who wanted to get back on track. The pain, however, forced him to stop after a few laps. Dr. Massimo Corbascio Mobile Clinic, has thus decided to perform surgery under anesthesia device in the limb injured by inserting a screw to stabilize the knee. The doctor assured the Team that through this operation, the pilot will resume as soon as the activity on track. Nevertheless, the Team Lorenzini has been identified as Sheridan Morais has improved, reaching the limit of 1'53'100 despite the high number of drivers on the track.

Vanni Lorenzini's comment: "We regret very much to what has happened to Kenan, but we are also much more relaxed as the fear of potential complications after we have received confirmation that our driver will take part in the event of April 1 without any problem. The surgery itself would allow Sofuoglu to get on track after only a few hours but we preferred to leave it at rest. With Sheridan we completed a significant amount of work. Morais is proving more and more men from Supersport and grows substantially. Time itself has little meaning (Tour record in 2010 by Eugene Laverty 1'52'' 198, Broc Parkes Fastest lap in 1'51'' 594 ed in 2011) because with a lot of traffic off the track. These two days have been useful to set the foundation of our means and be ready to start the second round of the season to the best of our ability. "
