BERLIN -- Two-time CART champion Alex Zanardi, who lost both legs in a crash, is in good spirits and doing very well although he remains in intensive care, his doctor said Friday.

The two-time CART champion is undergoing intensive therapy and movement exercises, Dr. Walter Schaffartzik said Friday.

"He's doing very well and he is in good spirits," Schaffartzik said.

Zanardi was injured two weeks ago at the American Memorial 500 in Germany in CART's inaugural race in Europe.

He lost control of his Honda Reynard emerging from a pit stop, spun backward and was hit by Alex Tagliani at 200 mph in a horrific crash that stunned even CART veterans.

Doctors had to amputate both legs above the knee, but have said Zanardi should to walk again with the help of protheses.
