MotoGP Aragon, Preview: Pedrosa, “I hope to get back into the fight for the podium”

GP Aragon MotoGP Repsol Honda – After the disappointing result of the Misano Grand Prix, finishing in 14th place, Dani Pedrosa can't wait to get back on track to make up for it. The main problem encountered by the driver from Sabadell during the Romagna race was not being able to get the tires up to temperature in the difficult weather conditions.

The next round of the 2017 MotoGP will be the Aragon Grand Prix, home track for the Spanish rider. At this track, the #26, he won only once in MotoGP in 2012, but he finished on the podium three more times.

At the moment the Honda rider is fifth in the general standings, 49 points behind the first in the standings and teammate, Marc Marquez.

These are the words of Dani Pedrosa: “It was a disappointing weekend at Misano two weeks ago, but we've already put that behind us and we're looking forward to the next race in Aragon. We know that we can be much faster if we can work well during the free practice sessions, find a good setup for our bike and make the tires work in the best possible way. I really enjoy going to Aragon and I can't wait to race in front of my fan club and my fans. I hope the weather can be kind to us and I hope to get back into the fight for the podium.”
