Dani Pedrosa believes his 2011 MotoGP World Championship hopes are ove♔r, following the broken right collarbone he sustained in a clash with Marco Simoncelli at💧 Le Mans.

൩2010 title runner-up Pedrosa has been absent since lasꦍt month's French Grand Prix fall, having skipped last weekend's Catalunya round. He will not try to ride in this weekend's British event at Silverstone.

"I'm trying to recover as fast as I can," the Repsol Honda rider told MotoGP.com.ℱ "Obvi𒀰ously it's not the fastest recovery I've had.... I have to stay clam for a while. I'm feeling better but unable to race yet.

"We have to check week-by-week. To say now when I will come back is unknown. I would like to be fully fit whe🐼n I come back, because that guarantees me the option to win races.

"I missed the race in Barcelona, which is something very special for🅠 me, also I missed the chance of winning the title this year when I had a really good package and the bike was working so well."

Fellow factory Honda rider S𒐪imoncelli received a ride-though penalty for his part in the Le Mans accident, which occurred when he turned across the front of Pedrosa as♍ they battled for second.

The Spaniard's front-wheel clipped the side of Simoncelli's bike, sending him to the ground. Not all agreed that Simoncelli was purely to blame, although the Italian has since stated he should have 𒉰waited for a b🌠etter chance to pass.

"In my opinion it is hard to see how the Race Direction [did no💎t do something sooner] because it's something I would rea๊lly [punish] from the beginning," said Pedrosa.

"In the first occasion I would really do a strong, severe decision to make sure these things cannot happen anymore. But they have another policy. They dec🅰ide for us.

"In my situation somebody threw my championship away. It's hard to swallow, but it's something I have 𝐆to accept."

Pedrosa had only just recovered from complications caused by a broken left collarbone in practice for last October's Japanese MotoGP, winning at E꧟storil in his first race back after surgery. Then came Le Mans...

Pedrosa - now fourth in the championship and 37 points from the top - will not be replaced this w𒁏eekend.

Round seven of the world c😼hampionship, which is shaping up to be a fight between Pedrosa's team-mate Casey Stoner and Yamaha's reigni💎ng world champion Jorge Lorenzo, takes place at Assen, on June 25.
