Spanish MotoGP rider Dani Pedrosa should be able to ride in the Chinese Grand Prix on May 6 after doctors said he had not fractured any bones in his crash at Istanbul on Sunday.

The 21-year-old Honda rider was caught up in a multiple collision that also involved Kawasaki's Olivier Jacque, Yahama's Colin Edwards and Suzuki rider Chris Vermeulen on the opening lap of the Turkish Grand Prix.

Pedrosa was put in a neck brace following the crash. His team said that while tests conducted in Barcelona on Monday showed heavy bruising to his neck and chest there was no evidence of any fractures.
