Practice starts on time as Pedrosa sits out

The third free practice session at Laguna Seca got under way at its normal 10.00am slot as fog cleared just enough on the California circuit.

Meanwhile, Dani Pedrosa has chosen not to ride in this morning's session in an effort to save himself for this afternoon's hour of qualifying.

The Repsol Honda rider is still recovering after injurying his hand in a crash at Sachsenring last Sunday.
