MEDICAL TESTS RULE OUT ANY FRACTURE ON DANI PEDROSA`S FOOT The Repsol Honda Team rider is suffering from Post-Traumatic Arthritis on the big toe of his left foot and will receive treatment so that he is fully fit for Australia Dani Pedrosa has had another medical check up to find out the extent of the injury he got in the fall during the Japanese Grand Prix last Sunday. The first medical check at the circuit of Motegi was not able to ascertain the exact diagnosis. The Repsol Honda Team rider has had a medical check up and the X-rays have shown that he has no fractures. Pedrosa is suffering from Post-Traumatic Arthritis with inflammation of the big toe on his right foot. This means that he will have to rest this week and receive a treatment based on anti-inflammatory medicines and physiotherapy. According to Pedrosa himself, “The most important thing was to be sure that there was nothing broken, because I really thought there was because of the pain. Now we just have to wait for the treatment to take its course, I will be able to return to physical training next week and get back in good shape for the next race in Australia.”
