Toprak Razgatlioglu to have shoulder MRI after Indonesian GP crash
Toprak Razgatlioglu, a Pramac Yamaha rider, crashed during practice at the Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika on Saturday.
The impact dislocated his right shoulder, which he put back in place before taking part in qualifying and the sprint.
He started the main race on Sunday but stopped after eight laps because the injury left him with too little strength to ride safely.
Razgatlioglu said the shoulder felt worse that morning and seemed as though it might have dislocated again during the race.
He is returning to Turkey on Monday for an MRI to find out whether he needs surgery.
He hopes rest will be enough for him to return for the next race, but that will depend on the scan and his recovery.

I'm happy to have tried.
Normally, when the shoulder is out, in general no rider rides the bike. I'm just trying.
