Pedrosa probably not riding at Assen, working on Mugello return

The Continental Circus travels once more to the Netherlands, where it will take place one of the most historic rounds of the World Championship. As tradition dictates, the race will be held on Saturday, not Sunday as in the rest of GPs. Stoner y Dovizioso will arrive to this special round in very good form and after achieving their second 1-2 of the season at Silverstone circuit.

Dani Pedrosa keeps improving every day, but most probably he will not be able to take part in this next round. Hiroshi Aoyama will substitute him in case he does not compete. The Repsol rider will keep working in his recovery and will be able to get again on the bike in the next round of the World Championship after the Netherlands, the Mugello Grand Prix, on July 3.

Dani Pedrosa: “It’s been some days since the surgery and I feel much better. I don’t feel the pain I had before the operation and the evolution has been very good. I’ve already begun the rehabilitation and I am very positive. Every day I notice an improvement and this is very good because I really wish to get back on the bike as soon as possible.

To be honest it will be very difficult for me to make it to Assen, but I really believe I will be OK for Mugello, so now I’m focused on working to get better every day and see how far I get. I want to return as soon as possible, but I want to do the right thing”.
