Shoulder injuries and recovery periods are going to be recurrent subject this season, because after Valentino Rossi not being on top of his game due to his shoulder, Dani Pedrosa’s problematic left shoulder is also going to be a topic to dicuss during this upcoming Jerez race.
The pint sized Spaniard suffered an unexpected weakness and numbness in his arm during the second half of the race, allowing both Casey Stoner and Jorge Lorenzo to overtake him, and as soon as he returned home as we know, underwent a battery of medical scans to find out what was causing the problem, revealing that his brachial plexus was stretched, a consequence of his 2010 Motegi crash.
But the month off between Qatar and Jerez would give him time to help get back into fitness, however without specifying the exact recovery time.
Ahead of this weekend’s race, Pedrosa’s attending physician Dr.
Mir of the famed Dexeus Clinic has reported that Pedrosa is at the moment okay, but he could expect similar, but less severe problems again during the race and that surgery may be considered an option to help correct the situation and it could take place immediately after the Jerez GP.
Dr Mir also revealed some pretty disturbing news regarding Pedrosa’s shoulder injury from Motegi, that the Spaniard had almost risked paralysis to his left arm.
