Dani Pedrosa updated the Repsol blog where he writes, and it seems that his slated return for the June 25th Assen GP, is looking somewhat bleak :“I’d love to know if I’ll be in Assen or not, but it’s something I don’t know yet.
Recovery is going somewhat slower than expected and I’m taking taking it day by day.
Assen is still a week ahead and I do not know how I’ll be in a few days.
I’m a little down, because I want to recover and return to racing, but the evolution of the injury escapes my desire and will.
I’m doing everything I can to recover and I’m following medical advice 100%.
”Pedrosa injured his collarbone on May 17 after his controversial crash with Marco Simoncelli and has skipped two rounds so far and that inself has sparked a lot of rumors, with the main one being that the Repsol Honda rider re-injured himself just in some sort of training or domestic accident while he was recovering, which was hotly denied along with the rumor that Pedrosa would no longer race this season.
To try prove that something did happen to Pedrosa post surgery, Italian website Motorcorse even tracked down a picture of Pedrosa at a bowling alley on the eve of the announcement of his Catalunya GP pullout and subsequently also the Silverstone GP.
