Pedrosa Confirmed Absent From Assen

As predicted yesterday, Honda have finally confirmed that Dani Pedrosa is to miss the Assen MotoGP round. HRC today issued a terse press release announcing that Pedrosa would not be racing in Assen, and that Hiroshi Aoyama is to take his place in the Repsol Honda team, while Honda test rider Kousuke Akiyoshi will move in to Aoyama's seat at the San Carlo Gresini Honda team. Pedrosa is now expected to make his return at Mugello, as he stated in Repsol's press release.

Pedrosa's injury is still shrouded in mystery. After breaking his collarbone in a crash with Marco Simoncelli at Le Mans, Pedrosa had his collarbone plated and was expected to return at his home Grand Prix in Barcelona. However, he did not make an appearance there, amid rumors that the Spaniard had aggravated his injury in a training accident. After having yet another operation to fix a loose bone chip, Pedrosa was unable to race at Silverstone, and has now also decided to skip Assen. Once he makes his return at Mugello, he is likely to face a barrage of questioning from the media, and especially from the Spanish contingent. Pedrosa is in for a very long weekend at Mugello.

Below is the text of the Honda press release.

Tipping contest winners: Donington 2009

It was a freakish race – one which I am still trying to get my head around, let alone write up! Because of the unusual podium, points were scarce this week with many people striking out. Only one person scored podium points: @leighberwick with his 3rd place for de Puniet. How you picked him out [...]
