Roadracingworld.com’s Chris Ulrich underwent surgery today to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The injury was initially caused in March when Ulrich was hit by Heath Small’s flying motorcycle and crashed during a Formula USA race at Daytona, and was aggravated two weekends ago during AMA Superstock practice at California Speedway, a chicane-rich racetrack placing extraordinary demands on riders’ shoulders. Following practice at Fontana, Ulrich could not lift his right arm. The surgery was performed by Dr. Arthur Ting at his Fremont, California clinic. Estimates of required recovery time range from 6 to 8 weeks. Information on the labrum is available here: ~http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=18656~
