Dani Pedrosa has been left with 'quite intense pain' in his left foot after a big accide🉐nt in Free Practice 2 for the Czech Republic MotoGP.

The Spaniard was launched from his Repsol Honda due to fluid leakin🐽g from the front fork, ca꧒using the big highside at Turn 13 on only his second lap of the afternoon.

"It was a big highside. I couldn't really feel that I had a problem on the bike and ꦚwhen I flicked from le𒀰ft to right - I didn't really have time to really flick, but I was already in the air," Pedrosa explained.

"So I make a huge highside and I think 🏅when I flipped over and impacted the flo☂or, that was when I had this impact on my foot.

"It is unfortunately the foot I br😼oke in Australia a long time ago [2003]. It's where I have all the screws in and I have quite intensive pain.

"I did an x-ray and it looks like everyt♕hing is in place [no fracture], but the pain is quite high. The problem is that this is the foot I need to work on the [geܫar] shift lever and now I have problems to move it.

"I will see in the next hours how I am recovering and how I am tomorrow morning - if the pain is less and I have🌟 less swelling and I can work better on theꦬ bike."

Pedrosa, who won last year's race, had been a close third fastest in the morning session and only lost one place on the combined lap tim𓂃es despite his absence in the afternoon.

"It is disappointing, he🗹re or somewhere else, because to have this kind of issue, to have this kind of crash because of shit like this is not good," Pedrosa added.

World 🎉championship Valentino Rossi was also brought down by the oil from Pedrosa's bike. The Italian was unharmed and able to return to the track on his spare machine.

Pedrosa's team-mate Marc Marquez, who⛄ led the afternoon se🐻ssion, fell twice on Friday as scorching temperatures caught out a number of riders.

After missing three races earlier this season due to arm pump surgery, Pedrosa has battled for the podium at three of t𝔉he last four rounds, including a second place in Germany.
