The MotoGP grid will look worryingly thin again at Phillip Island on Sunday, as two high-profile riders will once again be forced to miss the Australian Grand Prix through injury. One of the names comes as no surprise: Dani Pedrosa had surgery to fix a titanium plate to his fractured collarbone two weeks ago today, and traveled to Australia hoping only to score a few points to shore up his fight to finish 2nd in the championship. But a 20-hour flight from Spain to Australia, coupled with horrific weather conditions have forced Pedrosa to reconsider, and he has decided it is simply not worth the risk.
