Dani Pedrosa made clear his feeling towards Marco Simoncelli have not mellowed in the weeks since their Le Mans collision, wh🅘ich left the Spaniard with a broken collarbone.

Speaking during♑ Thursday press conference at Mugello, the venue for Pedrosa's return to MotoGP action, the Spaniard said:

"If someone i🔜s still doubti🔜ng [that Simoncelli is dangerous] that is unbelievable. It is quite clear what he is showing on the track.

"In Estoril he was laughing about maybe someone will arrꦛꦍest him. Maybe he needs that because I tell you, his head has nothing but hair."

Simoncelli - sitting💞 next to Pedrosa - was then given a chance to respond.

"For me, we speak a lot about that incident," commented the San Carlo Honda Gresini rider. "For me, the things he and his manager say are stupid. It is bet♔ter not to speak with him or his manager."

Simoncelli - consistently quick in qualifying - has crashed in four of the seven races this year, not c𝕴ounting the 🌳incident with Pedrosa. His most recent tumble came in last Saturday's Dutch TT, when he also brought down Jorge Lorenzo.

During the preꦇss conference Pedrosa also rubbished rumours that the second collarbone surgery was needed due⭕ to a training crash on a Supermoto bike.

"I've exp꧟lained what happened five times - in my blog, in press releases, interviews. How many times do I nee🐠d to explain?

"I didn't touch a bike.

"I was doing the rehabilitation therapy [aft💜er the first operation] and one small piece of the collarbone just opened 😼up.

"I rested for two days, but the pain was still the same so we did some more x-rays and tests. Finally we decided we had to fix it so anoth🍒er surgery was necessary."

𒊎Referring to all the rumours about his injuries💧, Pedrosa said:

"There are some people a🍌round here who think 🐠they are Sherlock Holmes or something."

Pedrosa missed three raceꦓs - Catalunya, Silverstone and Assen 🥀- due to the injury.
