Struggle with injury, Pedrosa was 16th fastest on free practice | admin| News, Results

Dani Pedrosa was 16th fastest during Free Practice Session on Czech Republic Grand Prix at Brno. Stoner was the fastest, followed by Valentino Rossi. Pedrosa’s teammate Nicky Hayden is unable to join the race due to injuries he got during the X Games.
Pedrosa admitted that his left wrist and index finger are still hurting when he rode the bike, as well as some tyres problems.
Team manager Kazuhiko Yamano added, “Dani is still feeling pain from his left hand injury. But he can ride and we believe that the situation will get better. We are having some difficulties with tyre choice, Dani is lacking contact feeling here, especially from the front tyre. His crew have made some small adjustments today, mainly to the suspension. We hope he will be in better shape tomorrow.”
