Pedrosa’s rivals put him on the roof

Dani Pedrosa He was the man of the day in Jerez and the question about his performance was a recurring theme from hospitality to hospitality. And for pilots like Aleix Espargaro, the leader of this Friday’s Spanish GP, was not a surprise.

“It surprised me more than anything, obviously it’s surprising that he can ride so fast because for me it’s the top 3 in the history of motorcycles, without a doubt, and that tells you a lot that a 38-year-old .-old man at home, without the rhythm of the competition, without, above all and above all, the hunger that we need to win now, after winning a lot, but he comes here on a KTM and does his job that and how fast he is… It’s amazing.”

“Dani has always been a rival, he is a very fast driver, he has trained a lot, a lot, here, he has trained in all conditions. It will not be easy for him to have a race after a long time, in such a high level, but after All the information he has, from all the days of testing he has done, and how he is doing now, of course he is a rival,” said Aprilia’s il Capitano.

“Dani has a very soft riding style on the gas, and that means he doesn’t base his riding style on body like other more aggressive riders like Marc do, like Jorge Martín, even Enea if sometimes, that they are more aggressive and use their body, so it’s in his favor. I don’t know how hard he trains, but the race will be tough, especially on Sunday”, explained Aleix Espargaró about the choices of Pedrosa.

for your partner Maverick Vinalessecond this Friday: “No one is surprised; it is surprising because it does not compete, but I am not surprised that it is among the best, because it is one of the greatest in history and there is nothing else to add”.

For the reigning world champion Pecco Bagnaia: “Dani is good, he’s running fast, but not like a dry lap. It’s good to see him on the track, although I haven’t seen him up close. In the end he’s the Pedrosa we know,” he warned.
