Dani Pedrosa enjoys victory at the Aragon circuit after all the problems he faced – MotoGP news
Dani Pedrosa of Repsol Honda won the Spanish Grand Prix edging his old rival Jorge Lorenzo of Yamaha Factory Racing.
He remained focused and was eventually able to keep his pace at the Aragon circuit.
The gladness of the Honda rider increased even more after the problems he faced prior to the race. He once crashed and broke a bike but his focus made it possible to keep up with his pace and increased his lead over the circuit.
Pedrosa said, “It was good overall, especially after all of the problems at the last race. This weekend I had a crash and broke one bike, so it wasn’t easy for the mechanics, but I was calm and well-focussed. I started well and was able to stay with him
and keep the pace.”
The Spanish rider remains satisfied with his bike and told that his Honda machine was doing well in the corners. He thanked his crew, fans and family for their support and dedicated his victory to them.
He added, “I tried to maintain my rhythm and put some good laps in, so I was able to open up a good gap and the bike was working quite well. The bike was working well overall and especially in the corners.”
Pedrosa attained the highest speed over his home circuit of 166.2. He was unable to attain the pole of the Spanish GP and started the race from 2nd grid. He caught the championship leader in turn 12 of 6th and kept the lead with him.
The victory at the Spanish GP was his 4th victory of the current season. He managed to attain the pole at the Italian Grand Prix however he crashed in the very first lap of the race. The crash proved to be devastating for the Spanish rider in terms of title
contention because due to the crash he lost precious championship points and mathematically it becomes impossible to cover the lead of the championship leader Jorge Lorenzo of Yamaha Factory Racing if he wins all the remaining races in the season and Lorenzo
keeps finishing at the second place. The Honda rider has said that he will be focusing over his riding rather than mathematics of the game
Let’s see how he performs in the next Japanese Grand Prix scheduled on October 14, 2012.
