Pedrosa confirms Mugello return

Pedrosa confirms Mugello return



Dani Pedrosa will make his much-anticipated return to action at this weekend?s Gran Premio d?Italia TIM, having missed the previous three GPs through injury.

The Repsol Honda rider, who fractured his right collarbone in a crash in the race at Le Mans on May 15th, said in his personal blog: ?For some weeks now I have wanted to tell you when I?ll return to action, and finally today I can. These past weeks have been difficult, but I knew I had to concentrate on my recovery in order to ensure that I get back on the bike in the best way possible. As I said last week, Mugello was the objective and it?s the only thing I?m thinking of at the moment.?

?I head to Italy with great motivation to be back on the bike, to see how I?m feeling and to compete,? continued Pedrosa. ?As well as riding again I?m really looking forward to getting back and seeing all the team, working with them and trying to do well. At the end of the day we?re like a family. You miss it when you spend such a long period without competing.?

Discussing his rehabilitation from injury, Pedrosa added: ?The truth is that it (collarbone) has improved a lot since I had the second operation. It seems we?ve solved the problem and the good feeling I had in the days following the operation confirmed that. Now I need to see what I feel like when I?m on the bike during a race.?

23 Photos of the Husqvarna Nuda 900R

Well it didn’t take long for Husqvarna to release some official photos, after showing the 2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R street bike to the assembled press. The Nuda definitely has a unique look to it, which is already growing on us in a weird way…the name however, well…that’s a different story. Based around the BMW F800GS parallel-twin, Husqvarna has bumped the power plant up to 900cc, making over 100hp with the red-topped lump. With a 385 ...

Rossi?s opinion of the Lorenzo negotiations

This quote comes from the Spanish language website elmundodeportivo.es. The message and the sentiment are clear: “You aren’t worth what I get paid Jorge”. From elmundodeportive.es, translation by Fans.Moto.GP (Thanks!): What Jorge is looking for seems presumptuous to me: Arrive at Yamaha, and in his second year ask that he be given the same treatment [...]

Chip Yates?s Track Notes from Pikes Peak

The course for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is 12.42 miles long, includes 156 turns, and goes from 9,390 ft at the starting line to 14,110 feet at the finish. Learning the course can take years, mastering it even longer, and considering that many of the higher elevation turns have sheer drop-offs with no guard rails, mistakes are not an option. To keep all of the turns straight, and to come up to speed ...
