At this point in his film, Dani Pedrosa is no longer aiming for the podium more or less. At this point he is taking back the heat that the fans gave him in those years at the beginning of this century when he chained three world titles in the small categories and became the favorite driver of the Spanish fans in his face that like a child and a body. of a little gymnast. So I didn’t enjoy it. Now 39 years old, he is enjoying every moment. Jerez’2023 is the reunion of the fans and Jerez’2024 is the surprising return to the podium.
Less important is that he inherited it because of 15 crashes in the race and the penalty for the driver who stole the podium under the checkered flag of 50 thousandths. The most important thing is to be able to celebrate that breakaway moment in front of the most emblematic tribune of Jerez, Peluqui-Nieto joins Jorge Martín and Pedro Acosta where he will find himself linked to that sprint podium at the Jerez’ 24 .
He inherited the medal from Fabio Quartararo who sent it to him with the dedication: “Enjoy it Dani” signed Quartararo 20″. Three hours later they held a ceremony between Dorna and the Red Bull KTM Factory between of the team’s trucks where they built the third place podium, they hung the medal on him and he uncorked the cava in the warm reception of the Austrian team.
When Dani came to give statements to the written press, the 8″ sanction that made him the new third player was not yet known. the backdrop when he dropped the news: “I didn’t know that we were fighting for the podium, because the riders had already crashed and I knew we were making positions. “I thought I was in the points, because at the beginning of the race I was between 10th and 11th, but then two crashes, then another two … I’m happy with score of points after starting on the 16th.”
This is how he said how the outcome was: “At the end of the race, trying to pass Fabio at the finish line, he covered my board a little bit. I read something, but I didn’t read the whole board very well. I saw the difference and the laps, but I couldn’t see the position I tried to overtake him on the last lap, but I couldn’t, and I came to the box and the whole team was very happy, but they told me: “You lost on the podium of 0.050!” concluded.
153 podium marks in his career, and the 154th will not go up in official statistics, but in Sprints.
If he attended the media his partner from 2013 to 2018 at Repsol Honda, Marc Márquez who said “It’s a shame for Dani that he hasn’t been on the podium, he doesn’t care about the finish. third or fourth, would have liked he is in front of the fans, but of course congratulations to Dani.
