Is Pedrosa going to get his first MotoGP Championship this year?
Alberto Puig was strong in his criticism of Marco Simoncelli following an incident during the Monster Energy Grand Prix de France on Sunday. The Italian rider was given a ride through penalty for a manoeuvre on Dani Pedrosa which caused the Spaniard to crash, a fall which resulted in a broken right collarbone for the Repsol Honda rider.
Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda RC212V) scored his second MotoGP victory on a Honda in today’s French Grand Prix to move into second place in the World Championship point standings. Team-mate Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda RC212V) scored a fine second-place finish to secure a brilliant one-two for Repsol Honda.
But what could have been a perfect day for the team was spoiled by a mid-race incident, which saw the luckless Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) crash and break a collarbone after tangling with Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini RC212V). Simoncelli was subsequently punished with a ride-through penalty that demoted him from second place to fifth.

Top level sport needs drama and that is exactly what we got on the eighth lap of the Spanish Grand Prix. For the first time in Rossi’s brief Ducati career, it seemed the bike was actually working to his liking. A podium or even a victory seemed possible, a bet that no one in the paddock would have taken after Saturday’s qualifying practice. As he went down the pit straight, Rossi tried to brake as late as possible, something that had never seemed too difficult for him while riding his ex-lover, the Yamaha M1. The GP11 Ducati, however, is not that smooth, gentle Yamaha and even in the hands of a nine-time world champion the front end folded going into turn one. What happened after that will be talked about for days, months and years to come.

Stoner steals victory in season opener
Sunday, 20 March 2011
Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda) had a titanic tussle with his Repsol Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa at the Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar in the first round of the 2011 MotoGP World Championship to snatch 25 points on his debut ride with Repsol Honda. Stoner finished 3.440 seconds ahead of second placed Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha Factory Racing).

Weather : Dry
Temperature : Air 19°, Track 20°
Humidity : 31%Casey Stoner keeps reigning in Qatar
The Repsol Honda Team rider achieves a crushing victory. Dani Pedrosa, third and Andrea Dovizioso, fourth, complete a successful weekend for the team in Losail.
Casey Stoner just took his first victory of the season in the first race of the 2011 World Championship. It is also his first win with the Repsol Honda Team colours. The Australian took the lead by mid-race after overtaking a fighting Dani Pedrosa, that had started very strongly.
Now that the 2010 MotoGP season is over, Pedrosa will have his injury checked again, and could possibly undergo another surgery.
"[On Thursday] I will go to the doctor again to have a CAT scan, an MRI scan and vascular tests to find out what's wrong with my shoulder," Pedrosa said. "I don't know yet if I will need more surgery, but if it's necessary I will do it.”
After missing the last two MotoGP races at Japan and Malaysia due to injury, Dani Pedrosa is set to make his return at Phillip Island for the Australian Grand Prix.
The Repsol Honda rider missed those rounds due to breaking his shoulder at the practice-session crash in Motegi. During the wreck, in which the accelerator became stuck on his Honda RC212V, the 24-year-old Spaniard sustained a double fracture to his left collarbone.
Sí que os puedo decir que voy a empezar la rehabilitación en breve, sin centrarnos en una fecha de regreso. Queremos ver cómo evoluciona en los próximos días la lesión, y a partir de ahí, empezar a pensar en volver a los circuitos. Lo importante es recuperarme bien.
Sobre la caída, poco más os puedo contar que no sepáis ya. Fue fruto de la mala suerte. Evidentemente, cuando te caes y te lesionas, siempre te cabreas, pero no me gusta quedarme pensando en lo que pudo haber sido. Como os digo, fue mala suerte, esta vez me tocó a mí, y ahora hay que levantarse. Las carreras y la vida misma son así y siempre hay que mirar adelante.
I wish I could write today after a very different Japanese Grand Prix, but this is sport. Now that I have spent a couple of days since the fall and the operation, I can tell you that I am well and thinking how to recover to return as soon as possible to the circuits. I can not tell when it will be, because, from experience, I know that recovery time can vary and that it all depends on how things evolve in the coming days.
Yes I can tell you that I will start rehabilitation soon, without focusing on a return date. We want to see how it evolves in the coming days the injury, and from there, start thinking about returning to the circuit. The important thing is to recover well.
