Honda said in a statement on Monday that as the injuries were
healing well, Pedrosa's doctors and team had agreed that he
could return for the final round.
"These past three weeks haven't been easy because of the pain,
especially immediately after the operation, and also because I
missed racing at some of my favorite tracks," Pedrosa said.
"After I started with my rehab, things began getting better
day-by-day and the thought of trying to recover in time for
Valencia was a boost that helped during the tougher moments,"
added the rider.
"We’re still not sure about how I’ll feel on the bike, but
anyway I’m happy to be able to get back to racing."
Pedrosa has won six times at Valencia, three of those victories
in the MotoGP category.
