Dani Pedrosa undergoes more surgery

Dani Pedrosa, just three days after writing on his blog that his shoulder recovery was going more slowly than expected and that his participation at the Assen GP was in doubt, is currently undergoing further surgery on his collarbone.
According to a Repsol Honda press release, this new surgery is needed to fix a fragment of bone that has shifted and pin it back in place, and this setback in Pedrosa’s recovery will no doubt will continue to give more credit to those rumors that Pedrosa was re-injured following his post Le Mans surgery in a training or domestic accident, which has always been firmly denied by his team.

A new press release is expected to follow later this afternoon with an update on Pedrosa’s physical condition and whether he’ll be able to take part in next week’s Assen GP.
