MotoGP Brno Dani Pedrosa: “I made the wrong strategy”

Dani Pedrosa's Brno weekend ends with a second position, finishing once again behind teammate Marc Marquez. For the rider from Sabadell this time the error was a strategic one: he waited too long before passing Lorenzo, and then didn't have enough time to try to catch up with Marquez and try to repeat last year's success. The word is up to him.

I'm very happy with the result, speaking in general, because after all the problems due to my injury and the doubts we had in the last races, we made a big step forward with my mental preparation today. Here we were more ready to win, even though I wasn't at 100%. Unfortunately, our strategy wasn't the best. I had problems overtaking throughout the race, because I couldn't brake late and I was always third in the leading group. I think I made my decisive move one lap too late. If I had passed Jorge the lap earlier, maybe I would have had a chance of victory. In any case, we had the strength to attack until the end and gain ground on Marc. I would have needed another round to get it! We'll try again next time. I want to thank the team for the great work they did this weekend.
