MotoGP – Dani Pedrosa renews with Honda

After the best time set in both Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2 of the Japanese GP, the contract renewal with Team Honda HRC has also arrived for Dani Pedrosa (in the photo with Masumi Hamane, President of HRC). The twenty-one year old Spanish rider has renewed for two more seasons, 2008 and 2009. Pedrosa has always raced with Honda and with it he won the world championships in the 125 and 250 classes and last year he was "Rookie of the Year" of the MotoGP. He has the microphone.

“I'm really happy to have signed for another two years. Both Honda and I thought that continuing after the successes of these years was the best thing. We decided to stay together to aim for the goals we had set for ourselves. Even if things didn't go as we would have liked this year, we think that next year we can do well. I therefore thank Honda and Repsol, whose support was fundamental to the success of this combination.”
