Repsol Honda driver Dani Pedrosa has been cleared to return to action at this weekend's MotoGP Official Test at Jerez in Spain.

The Spanish rider fractured a bone in his right hand in a crash during Sepang testing last month, and has been forced to sit on the sidelines ever since.

Pedrosa's return will be a boost to teammate Nicky Hayden, who had to complete on his own all the development work on the new Honda RC212V.

In the mean time, the Honda Gresini team officially unveiled their colour scheme for the 2008 season, in an event at San Siro stadium, in Milan yesterday.

The team, who last year finished in fifth position in the championship, will have an all-new line-up in Alex de Angelis and Shinya Nakano.
