Pedrosa 'should be fit' for China
Following a spectacular crash at the Istanbul round of the MotoGP, Dani Pedrosa should be recovered in time for the next round in China, according to reports.
The Spanish racer, who rides for Honda, was caught up in a four-bike smash on the first lap of the Turkish stage last weekend, which had raised questions about his hopes for the rest of the season.
However, a full examination back home in Barcelona miraculously found no fractured bones, so doctors cleared Pedrosa to potentially ride in China.

Track side medics took the necessary precaution of protecting him with a neck brace following the incident, although thankfully it appears the support was entirely precautionary.
The crash left the rider, who is currently ranked third in the MotoGP standing after three events, seriously battered and substantially bruised.
He is now wearing a preventative neck brace and taking pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce the swelling ahead of the next race.
The next MotoGP stop is in Shanghai on May 6th, and will see the two leading riders, Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi, battling it out for the fourth round title and valuable championship points.
Riders of all ages and speeds can save a substantial amount of money by shopping around for the most competitive motorcycle insurance for their needs.
