Madrid: Honda MotoGP rider Dani Pedrosa will miss a third consecutive Grand Prix in Jerez this weekend as he continues to recover from surgery on a forearm injury.
And he will again be absent on home soil in the hope of being ready for the French Grand Prix in Le Mans on May 17.
"I won`t be in Jerez. Yesterday I tried to ride a supermotard bike to check my arm. Even though at first it felt OK, after riding my forearm still didn`t feel 100 percent," Pedrosa said in his weekly blog on repsol.com.
"I know that if I do a whole race by the weekend it will be much worse, and the last thing I want is to create another big problem. So it has been a very difficult decision to make, but I think the best is to wait a while longer, go ahead with the rehabilitation and be back in Le Mans."
Pedrosa`s teammate and world champion Marc Marquez also faces a race against time to fit to ride in Jerez after breaking the pinky finger in his left hand in a training accident last weekend.
