Dani Pedrosa out of British Grand Prix

Dani Pedrosa has confirmed he will not contest this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone as he struggles to regain full fitness from a broken right collarbone he suffered in Le Mans last month.

The Spaniard was injured when he was involved in a controversial collision with San Carlo Gresini Honda rider Marco Simoncelli and doubts over his Silverstone appearance intensified when he withdrew from his home race in Catalunya last weekend.

Pedrosa is currently the subject of intense speculation over his current absence with speculation rife in Barcelona that he’d aggravated the recovering right shoulder in a supermoto training accident while testing the strength in the collarbone.

HRC has flatly denied any additional incident took place and their official line is that Pedrosa's recovery is taking longer than anticipated because he had a smaller plate inserted to avoid a recurrence of a complication caused when he had surgery on his left shoulder last October.

It was discovered months later that the plate was actually pinching an artery when his arm was in a certain position, causing a numbness issue in his arm and hand.
The triple world champion said: "After dedicating some time entirely to recover, I have decided not to take part in the British Grand Prix this week. I've done everything I could to be fit in time for Silverstone, but the conditions are not right to return to compete with guarantees."

"I need to feel 100 per cent fit before I get on the bike again and to be sure I can fight for the victory, I don't want to go out there just to do laps. I've raced many times with pain and the experience tells me I'm still not ready to be competitive. I've decided not to take further risks and will instead continue my recovery process so I may return in the best possible way. It's time for me to be logical and not only follow what my heart says, or my desire to return. I want to return as soon as possible, but I want to do it when I have ability to fight to win. It's not the time yet."

Honda is expected to confirm that Hiroshi Aoyama will move into the Repsol squad with Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso at Silverstone with test rider Kousuke Akiyoshi joining Simoncelli in Fausto Gresini’s squad. (Matthew Birt)

Maluku to continue supporting George Toisutta for PSSI chief

Ambon, Maluku - Indonesia may still have to overcome some hurdles before it can elect a new chief for its football association.

The chief of the Muluku provincial PSSI chapter, Dirk Soplanit, said to ANTARA here on Friday, Maluku would not change its stand and would continue to support George Toisutta to become the new chief of the All Indonesia Football Association in the next congress on June 30.

"We will not change and will continue to support George Toisutta as the Group 78 has so far also been fighting for it," he said.

Dirk admitted a representative of Group 78 was still trying to meet FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke to ask about FIFA`s reasons for not accepting George Toisutta and Arifin Panigoro as candidates for the PSSI chief`s post.

"Hopefully the envoy can meet with the FIFA secretary general and if necessary with FIFA chief (Sepp Blatter) and they would tell the reasons for the Normalization Commission to reject Toisutta and Panigoro," he said.

Dirk said the explanation of the FIFA secretary general and chief would settle doubt about the performance of the Normalization Commission that had also met with Sepp Blatter over the issue.

"We have been monitoring that the Normalization Commission envoys would arrive here on Friday so that the results of their mission could be matched with those of Group 78," he said.

FIFA has set up the Normalization Commission to hold the congress to elect new PSSI leadership following a crisis in the organization.

Maluku in the last PSSI congress on May 20, 2011 sent two representatives out of 100. "I was representing the provincial PSSI chapter while the other one was from Nusa Ina Club. We both proposed George Toisutta to become the new PSSI chief," he said.

George Toisutta will continue to run for PSSI leadership with the support of Group 78 who have rights to choose PSSI leadership.

George Toisutta who is currently an army`s chief of staff has said that no one has ever asked him to withdraw including the minister of youth and sports.

"I will continue to run. Ever onward no retreat," he said.

Normalization Commission spokesman Azhari Nasution meanwhile said Commission chairman Agum Gumelar and member Joko Driyono had met with FIFA leadership on May 30 and are scheduled to arrive home on Friday.

He said Agum Gumelar had told him that FIFA was serious that it would give a sanction to Indonesia if it fails to elect new PSSI chairmanship by July 1, 2011.

"FIFA has also deplored the incident in the congress on May 20, which was triggered by voters` behavior," he said quoting Agum in a recent communication with him.

Ashari said FIFA`s seriousness to give a sanction to Indonesia was put in a letter signed by Jerome Valcke.

"Therefore, Agum Gumelar expressed the hope that the next congress could run smoothly. Because if FIFA finally gives a sanction all rights held by PSSI would be gone such as an Indonesian team (including from clubs) would not be able to participate in the prequalification round of the World Cup or SEA Games. PSSI will also not receive a subsidy from FIFA and AFC for football development," he said. (H-YH/HAJM/B003)
