PICTURES: Pedrosa crashes after contact with Simoncelli

These pictures (see below for full sequence) show the controversial incident between Dani Pedrosa and Marco Simoncelli in Sunday's French MotoGP at Le Mans - which left Pedrosa with a broken collarbone🦋 and Simoncelli a ride-through pe🌳nalty.
Pedros🍃a had just re-passed Simoncelli for second along the back straig🍸ht and was on the inside line as they peeled into to the following left-right Esses.
Simoncelli then attempted to ride around the outside of Pedros𒀰a and the pair made contact at the apex, Pedrosa striking the side of Simoncelli's bike, then falling.
Pedrosa, second ꦓin the championship, broke his right-col👍larbone while Simoncelli received a ride-through penalty, dropping him from second to fifth and thus ending his hopes of a debut MotoGP podium.
