"Pedrosa to try pneumatic at Brno test."

The victims of accidents MotoGP World Championship contender Dani Pedrosa to mount the pneumatic valve Honda RC212V to the test in Brno in August 18-19.

The Repsol Honda Team has said that Crash.net wounded world championship contender Dani Pedrosa tested tyre-valve RC212V during tests after the race Brno, 18-19 August.

Problems with pneumatic valve engine during testing winter saw Honda return to the conventional valve-spring design for the start of the season, with "parallel development" of the two power plants continuously since then.

Pedrosa has stuck exclusively to the proven engine valve spring, which has had eight podiums - including two race wins.

However, team-mate Nicky Hayden never felt comfortable with the engine valve spring in el'08 and chassis changed the tyres as soon as he could, in the British Grand Prix on June 22.

Honda had warned that the tyres still needs refinement, and although the form Hayden has improved significantly since the switch, he has also suffered niggling technical problems - especially when it ran out of fuel out of the final in Assen turn him is his first podium of the year.

For these reasons, quite rightly, Pedrosa is cautious about making the change, but - now having fallen 41 points behind world championship leader Rossi - may feel driven to make this change sooner rather than later.



"Motorcycles are worked in Japan for the rest," said a spokesman for Repsol Honda. "The factory is working in two different directions - spring valve and pneumatic valve. These parallel developments.

"After Brno, there will be two days of tests and Dani will test the pneumatic valve. At this point it is not known when the race of the pneumatic valve. It all depends on Dani to choose him as the fight for the championship. Speaker look after the test. "

Pedrosa was celebrating the world championship lead to a high-speed rail accident in the wet Grand Prix of Germany on July 13 left him with his hand and ankle injuries, which also ruled him out of last weekend's Great U.S. Prize.

Honda is the only Japanese manufacturer continues to use the valve spring in the MotoGP engines.
