The Repsol Honda Team face another big challenge at Brno

Having just landed from the United States, the Repsol Honda team arrives at Brno with Dani Pedrosa in his best form but still waiting to know the situation with Casey Stoner. The stunning victory of Dani in Indianapolis, where he scored a perfect weekend - with pole position, new circuit record and the victory - was a great result for the team, which also celebrated a heroic fourth place for Casey, who raced with a heavily injured ankle.

Dani will aim to continue this current momentum - his best form in his MotoGP career with two victories and ten podiums, including seven consecutive - to fight for the first step of the podium at the Grand Prix of Czech Republic, where only victory in MotoGP class eludes him. Dani has won in 125 cc (2003), in 250 cc (2005) and was second in MotoGP twice (2009 and 2010), a good record to also add two consecutive pole positions in 2010 and last year, when he suffered a crash while leading the race. Dani is running second in the MotoGP World Championship standings, just 18 points off Jorge Lorenzo and with seven races to go.

Casey, who last season clinched his sixth victory of 2011 in Brno also has a good record at this track with two victories in the premier class (2007, 2011) and two 3rd positions (250cc 2005, MotoGP 2010). It's a critical time for the current World Champion who suffered a very serious accident in qualifying for the Indianapolis GP. Although he managed to race with a heavily strapped ankle - and scored a formidable 4th position - it remains to be confirmed if Casey will require surgery, and his medical team in Australia are currently reviewing the results of the MRI scan.

The team will remain in Brno after the race for another one-day test on Monday.
