Roadracingworld.com’s Chris Ulrich underwent surgery Thursday night at Dr. Art Ting’s Fremont, California clinic, to repair shoulder damage incurred in a crash in the Supersport race at VIR last Sunday as well as to remove a plate from his lower left leg, broken at the end of 2003.

The surgery will effectively end Ulrich’s injury-plagued 2004 racing season.
