Dani, this is the safety wall… safety wall, this is Dani.

Honda Repsol rider Pedrosa slid off in wet conditions during Sunday’s MotoGP in Germany, and went face first into an inflatable safety wall. Thank the sweet lord that he did - he was tossed from his bike like a rag doll and flew into the wall with considerable force.

According to reports, Pedrosa broke his left wrist plus a finger in his left hand, and sprained an ankle. Like we said, it could have been much worse. Honda has not taken a decision yet on whether Pedrosa can ride in this week’s US MotoGP at Laguna Seca.
