Pedrosa Injured – Out of Qatar Test

Dani Pedrosa highsided with his Honda HRC at turn 10 of the Losail Circuit this evening.
The Spanish rider crashed heavily injuring his left wrist, the same one that he injured during the Sachsenring race last year.
According to Dr.

Claudio Macchigodena of the Clinica Mobile, Pedrosa has injured his upper left arm and his left leg, but did not hit his head nor lose consciousness.

X rays and initial scans have shown no broken bones, but a possible crack in a bone of his left hand, but will have wait another 24 hours and another CAT scan to confirm 100% that he hasn’t sustained fractures.

Pedrosa also aggravated an existing left knee injury that required three stitches, which he injured at Phillip Island and had surgery on in December.
The Spanish rider and his staff have decided to fly back to Spain on Tuesday to undergo further tests and to keep the rider confortable have applied a cast to his wrist.

Following Pedrosa’s crash, Mikka Kallio also crashed out and fortunately did not suffer any consequences, but the test was red flagged to clean up the track from a puddle of oil.
