Dani Pedrosa He was the great hero of the Spanish Grand Prix weekend in Jerez. More than his results, sixth in the Sprint and seventh in the race, more than remarkable for a rider who hung up his overalls as an official rider in November 2018, it knows personally what is happening in the current MotoGP, so different from what he abandoned five years ago technically and in format. In his remarks at a press conference last weekend we can get the conclusions reached by the thoughtful Pedrosa. And they are amazing.

The aggressiveness of the beginning
“These are more aggressive races than I remembered and the more you risk, the worse and more delicate everything is. But… Let’s see, poor people. This is to open a debate. If in every race you have a red flag , crashed, injured. How is Miguel? The pain that in every race something happens and you lose a driver or have a red flag and so on, but if they don’t attack and they don’t get the result for with their brand, then they sit in front of journalists and what they tell you”.

Slipstreams generated by aerodynamics
“When the race stretches out, it’s very difficult to overtake, because the speed is fast, because the person in front sucks you when you brake. Even if the brakes are too strong, he sucks you and the bike doesn’t stop. You caught him and you have to stay away. It’s really confusing. That’s why people try at the beginning, when the whole package is together. , because it’s easier to pass there, but everywhere there are bikes and if the first one brakes, so does the second one. and the third one, and it’s eaten of the fourth. The bike is more complicated than what you see. on TV”

The tire pressure issue
“As a driver I have to adapt to the pressures. Going to the pits with low pressure tires, which feel almost flat; and in two laps following anyone, the pressure increases. Driving that way is not too bad either. by hand”.

the sprint
“There are many decisions that need to be made, like the tires, and they are critical decisions that can determine the result. Perhaps the most difficult thing is how the bike behaves in the race. Tires and bikes change a lot when you’re following the other riders. Trying to get a good feeling in that moment is a bit difficult, because you haven’t been able to prepare for that.”
