Pedrosa had an injury-plagued season

Dani Pedrosa has left hospital after having surgery to remove a screw from his left hand and will step up his training for 2010 in a fortnight.

The 24-year-old Spaniard had the screw inserted to aid his recovery from a fracture sustained during the season.

The Repsol Honda rider ended the 2009 campaign in third place behind champion Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.

Pedrosa, who won the final race of the season in Valencia, suffered an injury-plagued season, also damaging his knee.
