Spanish MotoGP, Jerez 2nd-3rd April

Dani Pedrosa cast aside injury concerns to record the second fastest time in practice for Sunday's Spanish MotoGP.  The Spaniard discovered he had damaged nerves in his arm in a crash at the Japan Grand Prix in October 2010 and will have surgery after Sunday's race, but he was fastest in the afternoon session in one minute, 40.101.

Honda team-mate Casey Stoner posted the day's best overall time, his effort in first practice some six-tenths quicker than Pedrosa's afternoon best.

Reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo
improved on his fifth place in the morning to take third, half a second behind Pedrosa, while Marco Simoncelli posted the fourth fastest lap.

Valention Rossi was next up on the Ducati, almost a second slower than Pedrosa, while Randy de Puniet, Ben Spies and Nicky Hayden completed the top eight.

Britain's Cal Crutchlow finished the second session in 15th place for Yamaha.
