DAZN, the leading global sports streaming platformpremiered this Wednesday ‘Heroes of their time’ the second chapter of ‘four times’, the series that brings together four legends of Spanish motorcycling: Jorge Martínez ‘Aspar’, Àlex Crivillé, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo.
This new installment reflects the rivalry they keep on the track Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosawhich for the general public comes from 2005 German GP on 250cc, when Lorenzo crashed after touching Pedrosa’s motorcycle from behind. However, the Catalan believes that this struggle was born before: “It comes from a long time ago. I know about him, he knows about me, we both have a specific condition, we have to find our place. I wanted to be a pilot, I had to earn to be a professional pilot, surely just like him (…) In 125cc We have been ‘chopped’ even though we don’t have good moments on the track or for a championship. Then, in 250cc, we had more fury on the track. In the end, at that moment I was dominating the category, he came to take that place from me and that’s when the hardest fight started”, says Pedrosa.
Lawrence He assured that having a strong rival made him grow as a pilot: “I was looking for that rivalry, because having an enemy motivated me.” However, the Spaniard affirms that he misses a rivalry like the one he had with Pedrosa: “You can’t force it, like that. It definitely affected everything on Instagram, getting ‘likes’ and everything about socializing, because before there were no social networks, but it sold less. What people want is to see conflict, that there is anger… This is what keeps them waiting”.
In a similar vein, Pedrosa manifests himself: “You can’t create a rivalry out of nothing either, that has to be something real. I don’t like him, and he doesn’t like me. That’s the story.”
In ‘Heroes of our time’, Criville compare the rivalry between Lorenzo and Pedrosa along with his fellow Australian Mick is there: “My best time was the 500cc and Doohan. He was getting stronger and the Americans were struggling, both Rainey and Schwantz, but he was injured in Assen itself in the race that I won in 1992. He recovered and the rival to whom I was more that learned, we had a conflict. , pitfalls…”.
Pedrosa He was world champion three times, once in 125cc and twice in 250cc, but he never achieved it in the premier class, something that for ‘Aspar’ is one of the great injustices in motorcycling: “It can be seen from here , of course, because I think, unfortunately, the injuries did not go with him, but he had the title in hand several times”.
