FORMER MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo's surgery on a severe finger injury he sustained in a crash in the warm-up for the Australian Grand Prix was successful but the Spaniard will miss this weekend's race in Sepang, Malaysia, his Yamaha team said. Lorenzo was ruled out of Sunday's race at Phillip Island and rushed to a hospital in Melbourne for plastic surgery on the finger, effectively ending the Spaniard's slim hopes of defending his MotoGP title. In his absence, Honda-rider Casey Stoner sealed the championship with his fifth consecutive victory on home soil. Lorenzo, on 260 points, trails Australian Stoner by 65 points.
