Honda racer Dani Pedros broke his collarbone at the Japanese Grand Prix. This was his first practice..
Within six minutes, Dani Pedros lost control of the bike, immediately after the start of practice. This happened before the turn when braking and resulted in a bad landing. Doctors discovered he had a double fracture of the clavicle.
That same night, the Honda pilot was sent to Spain for an operation, which was to be carried out the very next day..
“It was not our day,” Pedrosa himself commented on this incident.
The pilot also said that for him this accident was somewhat strange, since he did not even drive two laps and already before the turn began to brake, but suddenly something went wrong and he ended up in the hospital.
So, for five races that will take place before the end of the season, Jorge Lorenzo from Yamaha can already be called the winners of the championship (his lead over Pedrosa is only 56 points).
