Dani Pedrosa believes his 2011 M✨otoGP World Championship hopes are over, following the broken right collarbone he sustained in a clash with Marco Simoncelli at Le Mans.

2010 title runner-up Pedrosa has been absent since last month's French Grand Prix𒉰 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. "Obviously 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 ye🍬t.

"We have to check week-by-week. To say now when I will come ba🅘ck is unknown. I would like to be fully fit when 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 Sim🉐oncelli reꦜceived 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 Simo🀅ncelli's bike, sending him to the ground. Not all agreed that Simoncelli was purely to blame, although the Ita🉐lian has since stated he should have waited for a better chance to pass.

Pedrosa is still angry at the move, from a rider who had previously been criticꦗised for his aggressive style.

"In my opinion it is hard to see how the Race Direction [did not do something 🐭sooner] because it's something I would really [punish] from the beginning," said Pedrosa.

"In the firs🐬t occasion I would really do a strong, severe decision to make sure these things cannot happen anymore. But they have another policy. They decide for us.

"In my situation somebody threw my championsh🐎ip away. It's hard to swall🌊ow, but it's something I have to accept."

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

Pedrosa - now fourth in the championship and 37 points from the top - will no🎃t be re🧔placed this weekend.

Round seven of the world championship, which is shaping up to be a fight between Pedrosa's team-mate Casey Stoner and Yamaha's ☂reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo, takes place a♏t Assen, on June 25.
