LORENZO LANZI UNDERGONE SURGERY WE'LL BE PRESENT AT MONZA

(Bologna 2005, April 26)

Lorenzo Lanzi has been operated today by the Imola Central Hospital from
professor Vincenzi on the left collarbone broken last Sunday at Valencia in the
accident occurred during Race-1 first lap. The unlucky rider by Team SC Caracchi
was hidden by the wild running bike of Neukirchner, fallen just behind him.

The surgeon inserted a metallic plaque to the collarbone and Lorenzo will let
tomorrow the hospital to return home. Lanzi will be present at Monza's round
next May 8th, also if he'll be not of course 100% out of his normal fit state.

Valencia's round has been particularly unlucky for Lorenzo Lanzi who, after the
difficulties of the first two championship's rounds, challenged finally his
first Superpole and, looking at the very good pace shown both in practice as in
the warm up, he could be one of the possible heroes of the race day.
