The Spaniard, who took his and Honda's first victory of the season last time out at Mugello - where world champion Valentino Rossi was eliminated from the title chase with a broken leg - lowsided at the end of the Wellington straight whilst trying to improve on third place, during his last lap.
What should have been a harmless fall then turned nasty when Pedrosa was hit by his bike (see gallery below for further pictures) as he slid across the newly laid Silverstone asphalt and was taken to medical centre for checks.
Those checks fortunately revealed that Pedrosa, who battled injury in both 2008 and 2009, had suffered nothing more than bruising to both his knees and will thus be fit to try and reduce the 25 point deficit to title leader and Silverstone pole sitter Jorge Lorenzo on Sunday.
