Dani Pedrosa will re-test to improve the suspension settings at Aragon circuit – MotoGP news
Dani Pedrosa of Repsol Honda will do a re-test during the second day of the privately held test session at the Aragon circuit.
Repsol Honda, Yamaha Factory Racing and LCR Honda MotoGP are participating in the tests.
The Honda rider said that they tried to improve the rear grip and the mapping of the bike. He added that the suspension of the bike was not the best, therefore the test is not over for him and he will be testing his bike again during the second day of test.
He said, “We tried to improve the rear grip and something with the mapping. The suspension today was not the best, so the test is not clear for me today, so tomorrow we’ll re-test the same things again just to get an idea what we can use in the following
races.”
Furthermore, he said that they will not be introducing new changes and will be testing the same things again to better understand their options in the following races.
The main aim of the Spanish rider was to work on the suspension setting and the electronics of the bike so that he may prepare for the remainder of the season. He was able to set the fastest lap time of 1 minute and 47.983 seconds.
Pedrosa won, the Czech Republic Grand Prix with a fastest speed of 166.4 km/h, after a close competition with his old rival Jorge Lorenzo of Yamaha Factory Racing. The gap between the two veterans was only 0.178 seconds.
In the current 2012 season the Spanish rider has always made it to the podium except for the France Grand Prix, where he could only make it to the 4thposition. The impressive records make him the best opponent to the championship leader Lorenzo. Currently,
the Spaniard is only 14 points away from being the leader of the championship.
Pedrosa’s convincing riding skills and tactics were even appreciated by Lorenzo after the Czech Republic but the championship leader also said that they will see what they have to do about it. A close competition is expected at the upcoming Italian Grand
Prix.
