Cal Crutchlow will be racing in the MotoGP next year, but before he makes his debut, he'll have to rehab his shoulder injury. Crutchlow just finished up shoulder surgery, and although the results were worse than expected, Crutchlow is hopeful that he'll be ready and competitive for the Sepang test in February.
Crutchlow sent out a tweet to his fans, updating them on his status:
“Back home now after my shoulder operation with Professor Len Funk! Alot worse than expected, fixed tendon back on but found i have arthritis in it but that shouldnt effect until some years we hope! Same recovery and hope to test Sepang Feb 1 . . . !"
The arthritis shouldn't be a factor in the upcoming season. Valentino Rossi had a similar surgery last week, and is also hopeful that he won't be missing any testing for the 2011 MotoGP season.
Crutchlow will be replacing Ben Spies for the Tech 3 Yamaha team. Crutchlow claimed 6 pole positions this year in the World Superbike series, and three race wins despite his injury.
