It has been confirmed that championship leader Dani Pedrosa will not compete in Sunday's eni Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland.

Following a crash on Saturday morning in which he highsided at Turn 1 and landed heavily, Pedrosa has suffered a minor fracture to his left collarbone. After a medical check-up on Sunday morning, he was cleared to take part in the Warm-Up but ultimately did not do so due to feeling unwell.Further checks resulted in a decision from Repsol Honda Team and Pedrosa himself to withdraw from the race due to low blood pressure. He will be examined upon his return to Barcelona on Monday, before discovering early in the week whether or not it will be possible to race at Laguna Seca next weekend.The decision means that both Pedrosa and nearest title rival Jorge Lorenzo are to miss Sundays race in Germany. Should pole-sitter Marc Marquez win at the Sachsenring, the 20-year-old newcomer will retake the World Championship lead by two points.
