The incident between Dani Pedrosa and Marco Simoncelli has had much bigger consequences than anyone believed it would. Pedrosa broke his right collarbone in the crash, just weeks after having a plate removed from his left, due to the plate causing the Repsol Honda rider to suffer Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Since then, Pedrosa's return has been much longer in coming than expected, his injury shrouded in mystery, with rumors that Pedrosa had aggravated his injury in a training accident emerging in the Spanish press.

After further surgery to fix a loose bone fragment in Pedrosa's collarbone, in his blog on the Repsol website, Pedrosa said his objective was to return to racing at Mugello, and that he would see what would happen at Assen.
